Perfect execution, akin to the Europe '72 version in terms of precision, Kreutzzman is all over the kit. Fiery Garcia licks reaching incredible peaks

Oh my, the band interplay is absolutely top notch and so mature. Ultimate boogie-gusto, Jerry givin' his all and singin' with soul. Great shit.

This blew my mind at the movies, the vocal jam at the end was insane on the big screen

The energy inside of the Boston Music Hall on this night must've been crazy. The Dead reaching peak levels on this fall night in 1978. Energy is through the roof. Top 5 easy. No question.

If you've got doubt, just read reviews on the archive.

Holy shit. This is incredible. This might be the best Peggy-O ever played. Atleast top 3. Crowd's reaction on the AUD is incredible. Chills. Top notch, high voltage 1978 Grateful Dead.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Winterland Arena

Bitchin version. Personally not going to complain about a Baby Blue encore in '74. Jerry's passion ain't cringey. He sings this Dylan number with incredible poignancy. I started seeing shows in 1982 (late in the game, I know) and I'd give anything to see some 74 dead. This is no sloucher.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 1, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Incredibly melodic transition jam. Jerry is full of ideas. Don't let the year deter you. This is top notch. Entrance into Fire is delicate and incredibly played. The interplay is what is most interesting. Great double-time jam at the end.
