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 ;)

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

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

Jerry's MIDI will take you to a safe place. Vinny can't be denied! I consider this song to be Bobby's best when it comes to rock n' roll jamming and he brings the familiar crunch of this era. WAH-wah-wah-wah-WAH!

If there were a SBD of the electric sets this show would be much better received. Vicious TMNS (listen to Ace during the build up!) but it doesn't stop there.... The setlist fills most of my needs and the band delivers!

So there isn't a SBD.... Get over it and listen to Jerry lead the band through a bouncy parade of explosions! Weir firing from a revolver of sound and the drummers undeniably contribute
