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

Copps Coliseum

Love this one for the reverb on the build up to final verse and any version where Jerry sings 'and you got yours!' always gets special treatment from me. Feels like he's trying to tell someone something....

Hey KSU85 no need to sway me - Swing is one of my least favorite Terrapins of the year. It's just a novelty act. This is a great version.

Winterland Arena

I almost bailed on it than around 13:50 mark TNT explosion changed direction of a somewhat monotonous jam

Uptown Theater

Dueling Bobby/Jerry fanning intro sets tone for an under looked NFA. Jerry's groaning is always a good sign

Just heard it - love it! Upbeat drumming, great vocals, mean Jerry, and sweet sweet Bobby slide
