Everyone takes turns taking punches in the end, extremely well played!

Alumni Stadium, University of Massachusetts

Easily the best one I have ever heard, the outro is long and lazy and dominated by Jerry instead of Bobby on slide, check it out!

This is very tight and balanced, it almost sounds rehearsed...

Very weird, intense version, sounds to be a a theme of a wild west action comic book cartoon?

Bobby's guitar is always as fun to listen to as Jerry's! Bobby will even tell you that ;)
The Music Never Stopped

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

This one reminds me of 5/13/78 Spectrum The early part of the jam is kind of a mess but the ending is very pleasing

This is a KILLER PITB, worth it for the reprise alone

Strongest version of May 77
Wharf Rat
Oct. 24, 1979
Springfield Civic Center Arena

On 10/24/79 The Grateful Dead declared themselves royalty to the city of Springfield. The contract was filled with a bunch of legal terms but the message WHARF RAT: THE RELENTLESS RALLY CRY THAT WILL STRIKE DOWN ON ANYONE WHO WISH TO COMMIT HERESY BY ATTEMPTING OVERTHROW THE REGAL ROCKERS was written loud and proud on the document's front page About ten years later these 4 fingered yellow people showed up, laughed and turned the speakers down. GD had helluva run!
