Winterland Arena

Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

The Omni

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Madison Square Garden

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

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.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Winterland Arena

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

Not 1977, but a great version.
