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)
May 7, 1978
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

This was an isolated show and it sure sounds that way. Rock n rock and rock and roll here baby!

Rocking version from a killer tour. Check it out!

Madison Square Garden

Jerry's shaky vocals are part of this one's charm - the NYC crowd goes nuts over it. The climatic part of Few wasn't very climatic but still great Weir\Garcia interplay in jams! Solid 8.5\10

Best version of year and i love Donna but she's got nothing to do with this insane rocker.

One of my favorite versions.... Pre-Hiatus Always thought E74 was GDs best work across the Atlantic.
