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

Agree with everything KLAUSSMITH said. Love Jerry's fanning after '...and get ready to kill'. The first set is one for the ages and everything pre-drums in set 2 is fun as hell

This might be the only FOTD that's on my list of favorites. No FOTD rocks harder than this one - energy out of solo is wild

Agreed, it doesn't get any better than this!
