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

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

Killer 3 minute jam closes this one out. Just exactly things.

The 3 night run in Chicago 1/30-2/1 is some of the best GD of all time. This is what winter in the midwest sounds like.

IMO a top 5 for sure. Full of sound and chaos.

This is not a stand alone version a roaring Stella legit segues into this pleasing FT. Really high grade shit! Love Bobby's complimentary playing along with the very mean and proud tone omitting out of JG's guitar. God damn what a climatic middle and ending jam. 10/10 shit right here. Shocked i'm new to this craziness.
