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

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

I would rank this up there with 12/31/79 as best Jackie of the month. The SBD is full and the show rips, the China>Rider and Shakedown is insane

^Check out 1/22/78 and 4/22/78 for matching first set energy. As of 10/12/77, this was the rock and roll king of Deals.

I'm with both Wheel and Jerry'sBitch. This version makes me wants to march significantly more than most(not all), for example check out 5/21/77. It's just as tight and has a lot more twists, Kieth and ends more climatically.

This and 6/9 are clearly twin brothers. Some days I just prefer one over the other. Love the ridiculous tight SBDs from this run.
