Some early lyrical flubs, but otherwise a gorgeous version!

I know this show is about the O1>Dew, but the final solo is so crisp and bright.

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.
