Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University
Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre
Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium
This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.

Auditorium Theatre
Yes, this is top 10. Every version from 4/30-6/9, with 9/3 and the early November shows. This one cranks. I’d put 4/15/78 in the discussion too

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.
