This starts off one of the most enjoyable 2nd sets that I listen too. None of it is best ever, but every tune is so solid and song selection is perfect... repeat Disc 2 in my car all the time.

Best version if not for 12/19/77.

There really are some sweet melodic DS theme moments in this one. How something like this sits with so few votes, baffles me.

See 12/29/77 for the best.
