I don't know what it is about this version...it has vocal miscues, but is just epic at an epic run.

A similar version to most from May 77 with some exceptions. Not sure why the next night at same venue is ranked so much higher.

If all the others are on here from May, this one shuldn't be forgotten. However, most are tough to differentiate from May 77.

This show may be the best of that great summer tour. This Foolish is awesome, definitely should be ranked higher. Jerry's final solo is crazy...you can tell the band is ready to stop, but Jerry goes until he decides. Rumor it will be a DL pick.

One of the best here. Almost 17 mins. Everyone is firing on this one. Top 5 IMHO.

Attics is always so fitting at epic shows. This is a beut.

Hey Slowly too...glad u voted this up. I would like to mention that Dick put this in his top 5 of all S>F's. The ending crescendo and the rider transition are just a few of the many aspects that make this version epic.

It tells you how crazy this version is for it to be in the top 20 of all DS's. It definitely deserves it for its complete scariness and for that to happen in the late 80's...it deserves its place in GD lore.
