Long live 5/2/70! i think i had the opposite experience of you on bleecker street - i paid $60 for a three disc bootleg of 12/31/78 in probably 1999. i was on a high school field trip to nyc and it seemed like an ungodly amount of money but at the time it felt like i might never see it again--which wasnt really true since they released it as Closing of Winterland just a few years later, but i still have the boots and stand by my decision
