A monster show, always underrated due to poor circulation. I swear the boys are all on mushrooms, and its a best friends birthday.

There is some special magic in the air on this night and why it is so overlooked is beyond me, IMHO every song this night is top notch. I am biased though, as someone else on this site said " this show is engrained in my soul"

I think this has to be my favorite 77 show even over 5/8 which i cant quite explain but is so none the less. 5/8 will always be a standard of measure. to me this is the best version that comes to mind from so many versions i have heard. this gets my vote, but I am on the search for the alltime best which i believe i have yet to find. until then, this is the BEST. Great call on this one from an overall underrated show.

WOW! I love it! Rippin Jerry solo and super high energy. definately a top version of this great rocker. However...won't get my vote so easy. going to listen to a few others, and will comment again later with maybe a vote. might be a better version i know, but i have to find it first. vote pending. in any case AWESOME!!!, love the guy laughing at the end on the matrix version.

The jam going into terrapin is the gem of this version

I have to agree, this is one of my fav's from 94 as well. this S>F is long and sweet. Great drums>space and Dark star as well. As far as 90's goes this deserves a vote.
