Hot show all around (Brent is ON FIRE), and this one has some boogie.

There is not a single song in this entire show that is not outstanding. One of the best shows I've yet heard. This "DS" is amazing, and it's a bright star in the blinding firmament of the concert. Pick any song from this show, you won't regret it.

The only time all show I thought they were running out of steam, and even then, it's a superior version.

Hey Madcap, I saw something to that effect on a "Weir Here" video that was partially shilling for the May '77 box set. That was the first I've heard of it (joking that the show was so popular it never actually happened), so if anyone else can walk it back further, let me know!
