Okay, keeping in mind that we're limiting it to 73, 75, and 77, I'll think of one from each tour.
First out the gate is Providence on July 21. This one is such an easy pick for me, both because it's one of the bands best nights ever and definitely Robert's best of the year. It's a real shame that they didn't start testing the tapes for Song Remains the Same until the following show in Baltimore
75 is a bit of a tough one, because with Seattle coming out now, it's hard to think of what might top it, especially for shows we don't have on soundboard already. So I'll go with the opener in Minnesota, especially if it's true that Robert was still in good voice. If they had good performances of The Wanton Song and When The Levee Breaks, it'd be a real treat!
So then we get to 77. This is the toughest one to choose for...28 April in Cleveland is a fantastic show. On the other hand, I get the feeling 31 May in Greensboro was maybe the best one of the year and we don't have a recording at all. I'm going to play it safe and choose Cleveland.
I'll also throw in the Copenhagen warmups in 1979. It's hard for me to believe there isn't a soundboard from those two shows when it's so late in their career.
