I mean yeah it's squeezed between Terrapin and Werewolves in this legendary triple encore, but full of '78 energy

This one's awesome! Prefer it to 5/9, Jerry is on here as he was all night
Wharf Rat
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

yeah wow this can definitely be classified as a "musical triumph". And like the above said, the most Bird Songy a Wharf Rat could get. Tremendous version, the outro is just so good you need to listen
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 21, 1974
Edmundson Pavilion

Best part is right before this starts you can distinctly hear someone yell out "Dark Star!" Deadheads are always craving more, and like you said, great and energetic US Blues here!

Incredible transition out of WRS too. Great version
Ship of Fools

Stellar version, much better than the amount of votes it has on here
