I find headiness in every version of this song. I love this version with that tortured 1985 voice Jer had.

Sweet sweet version to continue the epicness of the last hour of music.

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.
