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 ;)

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

Bob Weir guitar at it's best. This needs more votes.

Nothing from '82-'90 comes even close to this. Jerry gives the cyclone state one hell frenzied whirlwind to end the jam!

This one needs more love. Just watch Bruce trying to keep up. Weir's guitar playing is A+ on this - love those trumpet licks!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Just try to ignore those sweet repetitive licks during transition into Fire. As much as I dig this S>F, the Scarlet is pretty standard - this S>Fit might not even crack the top 5 for the year(4/16, 4/24, 5/11, 11/18, and 12/31)This Fire is great for Donna and Bobby slide guitar fans. Have no shame admitting that this show just might be my #1
