Deal
5/11/77 > 5/8/77 IMHO. Execution is near-perfect. If you like Cornell, check this one out from only three days later and compare.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
It's criminal that this hasn't made the list yet. Like super-smooth '77 versions? You MUST hear this.
55
Sugaree
New #1 favorite. Slightly more compact than other amazing '77 versions & so a bit more focused. 2d Garcia solo has no equal.
23
Big River
This hot version from St. Paul is from a very under-rated show that is better than Mosque show IMHO.

Looks Like Rain
A perfect rendition and maybe best of May 77. Bob and Donna really harmonize well at end. This St. Paul show deserves more hype.

Estimated Prophet
If all the others are on here from May, this one shuldn't be forgotten. However, most are tough to differentiate from May 77.
12
Space
This is referred to as Space on the box set. Its the isolated Jerry solo in between UJB and Wharf Rat. All of this show is so sweet.

Good Lovin'
Comes right off a top shelf Scarlet Fire this has some poignant and bright Jerry playing. Really incredible 77 take.
