Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

Cliche, but how in the Holy Hell is this version not listed? This whole show smokes in that beautuful 78 way...

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

New Minglewood Blues
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

HOLY SHIT!!! Keith is using a massive vamped out key sound, to make the whole song sound ENORMOUS! This is right up there with Cornell for me as the best Minglewood ever...
Ramble On Rose
Oct. 29, 1977
Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

This version finds Jerry in excellent voice and the band in that wonderful '77 vibe', which actually changes a bit from the summer to the fall tours, one great thing is that Jerry got 'The Wolf' back from Healy...
He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

This is INDEED a version of He's Gone! Recorded on October the 28th, in the year of 1977!!!! O, and it was good...
The Music Never Stopped
May 3, 1977
The Palladium

If this show circulated in SBD, it would get SO much more attention, and this MNS is INSANE....
Pretty Peggy O
May 22, 1977
The Sportatorium

It was left off of Dick's 3 actually...along with El Paso, Minglewood, FOTD, Ramble on Rose, Brown Eyed Women, Good Lovin and Sugar Mags...Twas a long show...
