Wharf Rat
Superb...so much soul and quality execution. A must!

Row Jimmy
After 3/20/77 and 4/12/78 this may be the best RJ ever. Check out the Miller version that fills in a tape-flip gap & revel in more Garcia magic.

Pretty Peggy O
Seems every 5/77 version but this one is up here,really sweet guitar and Garcia sings it with the soul he always brought to the tune.

Sugaree
the recording is not crystal clear but Keith makes this version. try not dancing.

Promised Land
stomping opener. May goodness. Keith!

Bertha
double opener. Nice melodic lead from Jerry, nice interplay with Keith.

Jack Straw
The song returns!

Ship of Fools
beautiful playing. Bobby and Keith during the solo make this one for me.

The Music Never Stopped
Hot version. One of the first set highlights, don't miss it!

Might As Well
This entire Palladium run is a Keith clinic.

Estimated Prophet
Just another great '77 Prophet. Fascinating to see the transformation of this as a jam vehicle throughout this tour.

Friend of the Devil
Another beautiful version.

Eyes Of The World

Not Fade Away
Builds and builds.

Uncle John's Band
Each night of this run has a stellar encore. I prefer 04-29's UJB, but this one's still very solid.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
I love this jam every supplication should be on here

Deal
Jerrys lead cooks
