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.

The same happens with Veneta, too. I don't go to that show for the Promised Land, Sugaree, MAMU, Deal, Bertha (12/29/77), Straw, Sugar Mag, Casey, or OMSN....but I'm pretty sure these versions are all top 5.

This one is top 5...great pre Rio Grande jam and thick outro as all the good ones do.

The transition is absolutely sick!
