Great Year, Great Tour, Great Show, Great Song. Tight as fuck version following a china cat tease.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

One of the tightest versions I have ever heard. I would place this towards the top. Jerry is in the zone, this really is a killer version. No lies.

They really bring the hammer down on this one. Tight and hot version, the drummers especially lead the breakdown into the witchita line perfectly

Definitely overlooked because of the monster that came the night after, but in fact this is a really hot version.

High energy Drums < Jam. The drums are awesome with some fantastic energy, but the real highlight is this unbelievable jam following the drums.

Second above comments-- the transition is quite something.. Vocals are heartfelt and definitive, Stranger>1/2>Weight is a pleasant surprise to open a very solid 1st set.

Samson and Delilah
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

DP 18 is crackling with an abundance of energy that places it in the upper echelon of live dead releases. This Samson is torn to absolute shreds, Garcia is a man possessed, if I had to guess the stage was on fire following this version.
