Supplication!!! I know Keith is playing cheesy bullshit - maybe that's why the other 5 guys are on fire?

Sloppy show over all - here's the outlier , it's got that undeniable Jan '78 smoky flavor

Jack Straw
May 7, 1979
Allan Kirby Field House

Check out 5/9/79 and 5/13/79 if this is the kind of straw hat you wear.
Stagger Lee
May 7, 1979
Allan Kirby Field House

I'd say this is my third favorite Stagger of the year. My top 3 are played within 5 days of each other.The clear winner is 5 days later in Amherst, MA. The ending Jerry decides to groove a bouncy chord heavy rhythm that sounds like a Carnival at night. The 2nd being I hsve to go with most energetic show from the tour, 5/9/79. Lots of novelty Bobby slide an heat!
Jack Straw

Broome County Arena

Blows my mind this hasn;t been up voted yet. I'm not sure there's a Jack Straw with Bobby as confident he is here. Play it loud and fast or don't play it at all? You'll have to settle for a AUD but the clapping is some of the best i've ever heard. Binghamton sounds like the place to be!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Springfield Civic Center Arena

This show seems to be hidden away from fans big into other shows during this...the S>F and Wharf rat cook!

During the mid-song jam Jerry plays his solo two times around...very fun
