Little-Championed Dead Shows
This list was compiled from responses to the below Twitter prompt. No responses were (purposely) excluded, not even in the case of Red Rocks 7/8/78, which has been officially released and is definitely not an under-appreciated show.
Hereβs a fun game: Whatβs a Dead show you love that pretty much no one you know champions? (Donβt come back with some bullshit like a 1977 show.)
