One of the better Box of Rain,well sung nicely played. Cos the vocals are so important to this song I would wish others to hear it and vote it up.

Ship of Fools
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Sorry to disagree, but Jerry's vocals throughout this show and night before are awful! Strained, often out of time and forced, even overly aggressive on some of the songs. Too much of whatever substance which didn't enhance the performance.

The Sportatorium

Brilliant. Dreamy , delicate transition to Whatf Rat. Very beautiful. Listening to this today, May 22, 2023.
Hurts Me Too

Lille Fairgrounds

Listening to this just now( May 13 2023) . A song I love and this has been overlooked by me, but no more! A top 5 easily. Il est tres beau.
