Give it a listen. Actually think its better than all the great 1977 versions.

This show is one of the best and this UJB can hang with any. One of my favorite versions.

This one absolutely cooks out of Nobody's fault. Off Road Trips.

I know its listed as Dark Star, but its a true MLBJ. Great country twang to it.

This version is great too. Jerry gives a little more at end.

Welcome Moses...did u try 5/17/77 in Bama...its right up there. Also, 10/14/94 is a 35 minute version that is top ten in any era...I know its blasphemy to think 1994, but trust me...the ending crescendo is like no other.

This starts off an amazing show with huge versions of Sugaree, Jack-a-Roe, Lazy>Sup, Estimated, Eyes, O1, Wharf Rat, and NFA>GDTRFB...and this show isn't even as good as 6/9...what a Fuckin' run!

Good version, but many are better from 1977 alone. 6/9/77 is better just to name one! 5/17/77 to name another. Raceway is a given. This isn't even in my top 5 for 1977 and certainly not top 5 of all-time.
