Campus Stadium - University Of California

Another amazing version from ’78, close second to Durham when Garcia’s belts out the final “My O My’s”

Not Fade Away
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

The revving Harley out of “Space” to the beat of NFA makes this version fun and unique and it also shreds, Garcia is clearly having a blast.

Deal
May 6, 1978
Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

This version get ridiculous at the end, all three are just screaming “Don’t You Let That Deal Go Down”

Not Fade Away
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Very aggressive version, smoking into out of space, the GDTR that follows is equally hot, give it a listen.

Cryptical Envelopment

Fillmore East

The Cryptical Reprise is absolutely stunning, and again this whole show could be nominated, Dick’s Picks Vol. 4, listen again and vote.

Ramble On Rose
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Now that this has been released July 78' Box Set this version needs more votes, great Garcia vocals, fantastic drumming, great, great version. The archive Aud is not bad but get the SBD CD or download, well, well worth the $. 5 very good shows.
So Many Roads
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

Part of the 30-Trips box set, one of the last GREAT shows. Give it as listen and vote.
So Many Roads
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

Never saw So Many Roads live, wish I saw this one. Jerry hits most of the vocals, nice clean tone in the solo and a very emotional coda. From one of the last GREAT shows, (selected for the 30 Trips box set), Jerry is on most of the night with many A++ versions. Love the Chicago 95' version as well, the finality of it all, but 10/01/94 is the version for me. A very good video is also out there, thanks voodoonola https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epnbkAXamAI
Days Between
April 4, 1994
Sports Arena

Not a seller version, too many missed vocals, lack of passion and very low lead guitar in the mix but interesting to watch the YouTube video, https://youtu.be/YBgxhnpsoD8. During the final jam, Jerry finally finds the tone he was looking for and uses his wah-wah pedal to emphasis the sorrow.
Days Between
Dec. 11, 1994
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

This is the one so far for me, better middle jam and the outro jam is amazing, just smokin', better than 12-19, IMHO. Also Jerry's vocals are more enunciated and a better overall recording. So this one gets my #1 Vote.
