Completely insane version that is mind-boggingly low. The 2nd best version, after 4/24/78, two days later. Fire week, during their best year. Powdered versions or GTFO. Full stop. This is the sound of America in spring ‘78, with all of her flaws and growing pains. Fingers in the air, hootin’ + hollerin’ - this is the embodiment of those days. Different world, and a lucky one for us to experience. *Original comment: This is one of the single best Jerry moments ever. Hidden. Sing it from from the rooftops!

This is *the* FOTD! Bring on any other version, it ain’t topping this one. Balls to the m**********n’ wall! (But you already knew that, cuz it’s RPI ‘78, which we know is the most underrated show of the year, and one of the most overlooked of the entire live catalog).
