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.

Here's a fun game: What's a Dead show you love that pretty much no one you know champions? (Don't come back with some bullshit like a 1977 show.)
