Cumberland County Civic Center

The magic of Portland, ME. This is the last Althea that really excites me until Bruce joins in. Jerry roars,Phil is present and Weir grinds the gears

Sugaree

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

This is an objective and non-biased take I agree with KSU. Pre-'76 Sugarees can be enjoyable but it should be against the rules to present any early 70s Sugaree as a candidate for 'best' ever. ;)
Terrapin Station
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

Other than mixing up the dates (Terrapin was played on 1/11 not 1/10) I couldn't agree more, This Terrapin is a beat down! No pussy soothing/sparkly noise, Just thunder and fear here

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

This is my kind of Terrapin it's more exiting that the top 3 combined! If you dig this one check out other greats from 78 1/11!, 1/18, 1/31, 4/11, 10/18, and 11/1/77 belongs with this group

I deleted it. Too much personal chatting. Your best bet is to just browse my list of submissions and comments and unless noted I enjoy the entire show. Every song i post about has my stamp of excellence haha. 1/18/78 has been slaying me today, maybe start there? Great 1/2 Step, Straw, All Over Now, Row Jimmy, LL>Supp, Terrapin>PITB, Estimated>Stella and Sugar Mags. Jerry's guitar tone is one of a yodeling grizzly bear

I like it even better than 11/9/79s
