I've never been so confident that a submission this late in the project will bring you thunderous joy! CRANK IT UP!!

My favorite of the year. Not the longest but it's just performed tight!

A hidden little nugget! Ending jam is ON POINT!

Night after top voted version and after sampling back to back I gotta go with this one, Jerry power riff galore to power home

Right up with 10/18 for craziest version of the year. So much lightning

I don't know why but when people praise this show I take it personal.... One small point of pride...? AUD splices are harmless, complete cuts on the other hand can be tragic. Can't forget about ripping versions of BEW, All Over Now, and TMNS from this first set.

Hey Danny if '78 is new to you check out 1/22, 4/15, 4/16, 4/21, 4/22, 4/24, 5/10, 5/11, 6/4 7/3, 7/7, 10/17 thru 10/22, 11/18, 11/21, and 12/30. Don't let the lack of diverse set lists throw you off. The band (specially Garcia) was amazing at tweaking their sound in '78.

'78 is the year of the Wolf, of both London and Garcia. For those who don't know Jerry helped his Buddy Warren Zevon write this song. Clocking in at over 10 minutes on a Betty Board. This one has to be my favorite.Love Bobby's oozing psychedelic slide action and thanks to Jerry's bad ass rhythmic riffs, you might as well call Ace the lead guitar player here. The band, per usual in 1978 sounded like they're having a blast. I always found it ironic how they appeared to have such a good time on stage in during these times despite the obvious turmoil between the band off the stage(financial crisis/Jerry catching Keith in his stash/general Godchaux domestic issues). For 30+ years the stage was undeniably a 'safe space' for Jerry/Bobby/Phil.

This is easily my favorite version of a song i'm not crazy for. As a kid I loved Steve Miller and some of his FM hits. This version just has something that every other version lacks, the obvious answer is Steve Miller but you know....

Okay I did just re-listen to this and it is a smoker. If you can't appreciate Bob Weir's slide playing(aka his Lowell George impression) once in awhile, then fuck you.... I mean it in the friendliest way possible ;)
