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.

Hidden gem here. This could be top 20 if anyone listened to this obscure show.

"Spanish lady come to me." Love this Spanish O1.

Pyramid Arena

Yes, the voice isn't perfect, but what does it for me...he reprises "be with u" not once but twice and maybe the ragged voice even add to it. Also, the final jam with reprises is quite long. Jer is great in the jam, but Bob adds some serious power riffs that really drive this version home, too.

Beast almost 14 minute Foolish. This was best run of 1995.
