The recent talk of 5/7/78 BP got me on a kick and as much as I love everything about 5/7/78 this BP has something RPI is missing

Killer version(ignore opening flub) I will no longer stand for the neglection of this MONSTER of a show. Way better than 11/20, sorry ;)

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

It's RPI '78, so deserves consideration. The crowd might have been light but they go nuts. Maybe 4/12/78 isn't only windmill Jerry US Blues. Ace kills

UIC Pavilion

Considering it's '87, this one is very well played. Great Bobby riffs to close it out.

Could be a top 5 for '78 - I think it probably features the fastest Jerry playing/best of '78 Keith. CHECK IT

This is easily the hardest rocking All Over Now
Weather Report Suite

Omni Coliseum

Maybe my favorite show from '73. I definitely like the noises the guitars make while packing up the harmonic chorus that leads into LIG. Usually Jack Straws prior to '77 lack variety for my tastes but the one from 12.12.73 has sweet licks during fine verse "Jack straw from Wichita cut his buddy down "sweet licks from Jerry" And dug.....repeat

Great version but my three go to sugar cubes are 12/27/77, 10/12/83 and 8/30/80 Luckily CRS is one of few songs I can tolerate from all eras and never get bored of it.

What''s the difference between a frog? Slightly less than the popularity of a killer 10/31/79
