This one really soars and rivals 5/7/78 as my favorite.

Very powerful version with fun jamming and a raucous ending from a show I neglected for too long

If nothing else check out jam from 4:10-6:31 it's insane. Recording is mostly Jerry, Keith and Phil but it works.

For Bobby slide fans, great ripping version from their killer first set since Egypt. Jed--->Straw are fire!

Check out 5/9/79 and 5/13/79 if this is the kind of straw hat you wear.

I'd say this is my third favorite Stagger of the year. My top 3 are played within 5 days of each other.The clear winner is 5 days later in Amherst, MA. The ending Jerry decides to groove a bouncy chord heavy rhythm that sounds like a Carnival at night. The 2nd being I hsve to go with most energetic show from the tour, 5/9/79. Lots of novelty Bobby slide an heat!

Broome County Arena

Blows my mind this hasn;t been up voted yet. I'm not sure there's a Jack Straw with Bobby as confident he is here. Play it loud and fast or don't play it at all? You'll have to settle for a AUD but the clapping is some of the best i've ever heard. Binghamton sounds like the place to be!

This show seems to be hidden away from fans big into other shows during this...the S>F and Wharf rat cook!

During the mid-song jam Jerry plays his solo two times around...very fun
