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 is a spectacular version for this era. I'd recommend listening to this whole show. Like I said, I'm confused by the lack of support for this night.

The outro has some excellent fanning and beautiful work from Keith and Bob. Not sure why this Egypt stuff gets overlooked. One of my all time favorite shows.

The definitive! The refrain is repeated more than usual and becomes more powerful lyrically and musically until it goes into the best stand alone Fire ever played.
