Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre
This is really, really good. Not spring 74 wharf rat excellence, but pretty awesome. Generally not a fan of 78, it’s usually a much lesser sounding version of 77. Billy and Mickey were often painfully out of sync, transitions were clunky, and (as previous reviewer noted) Bobby’s forays into slide were usually gadawful. Jerry’s best moments in 78 were with JGB (see for example 3/17/78). But 78 had its moments and estimated through franklins in this show was really freaking good.
