Never thought I'd dig this song so much. They're just so on this whole night (week actually).

I love this version. It's got oomph and doesn't put you to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyAOwP8dLqc for video.

Embryonic "Fire" in the "soundcheck jam" into Wharf Rat. Not a full FTM, but of amazing Deadfulness and not listed elsewhere. Check it out!

Estimated Prophet
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Really underrated. This one hits all the high-points, but also shows how much innovation and work they were putting into it. Lots of new effects, echo, and spooky outre weirdness that emphasize how cracked-up the protagonist in the song is. Was it already Dan working the board at this point? Anyone know?

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.
Sugaree
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Keith is glorious throughout this beauty. I'll admit when I see a 14 minute Sugaree there's a part of me that says 'uh-oh, hope it doesn't drag....' But this is just pristine throughout: Hot jams, clear ideas and solos, with mindbending guitar effects that think are the first-ever for their kind. And that Godchaux fella tickling the keys. Nice one!
Its All Over Now

Winterland Arena

After two shaky songs to start the first set Bobby comes steaming in with this beauty.
Morning Dew

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

For any era for Morning Dews this is top shelf. Drops on the heads out of nowhere, capping off a good - but not necessarily great - 2nd set.
