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

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Man I love this 'silky' version. Jerry plays about 50% less notes than your typical CRS. Que this one up and melt away in your chair.

Most up-tempo CRS of the year. Jerry means business during the outro!

Bruce/Vinny/Bobby really get at this one! The Row Jimmy, TLEO, UJB and BTW also shine on this night
