The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Whoa! This one somehow slipped through the cracks - A hidden gem for sure!

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

This should be on the map. Follow it to find the treasure!

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

^ Good call my friend. Love that version (and that show). Have you heard the Bird Song from St. Paul Auditorium on 2/17? That one, along w/ 3/16 & 6/22 are my favorites from the year.

^^^ Couldn't agree more!

It's hard for me to make a clear distinction between all the Terrapins played during the period. It's an epic composition, full of wonder, movements and moods. But it's a restricting composition, disallowing much room room for improvisation or jamming - the very thing that keeps most of us heads yearning for more. This version is indeed great, yet I listen to 5/19, 9/3, 11/2 and 1/22/78 because they are among my most favorite shows. Listening to all these versions back to back -- along with 5/17 -- I realize that 5/17 is every bit as good, if not better. But the margin of "better" is minuscule at best. What I struggle to grasp, however, is why the version played on 2/26 has more than double the votes than the version holding the current #2 slot. One would think that something miraculous happened during the version played on 2/26.

Hadn't listened to this one in a long while... Hearing this little gem was a breath of fresh air. The version played on 1/26/69 is more daring, exploratory and longer, but this version is more focused and realized. To my ear, it's the definitive version of the 5 they played, and I can see (hear) why it was chosen for the 'So Many Roads' boxset.

I'll have to agree with the sentiment of the last three reviewers. This version benefits from voter inflation due to the novelty sandwich and having been officially released. Taken as individual songs, neither is best-of material (although they're quite inspired). That said, this one still gets my vote because I enjoy this combo, and it's from what I consider the last great year of the Grateful Dead before the '89-'90 renaissance.
