Don't think it's great on it's own, but nice part of Estimated>He's Gone>D>S>Truckin'>TOO>Stella sequence.

I think this version works best when Keith is adding color to it, and he sounds nice here.

Ramble On Rose

Nassau Coliseum

“Rose” has that nice shuffle-boogie I love so much (I think they nail the tempo). Listen to the crowd explode when he hits the “just like NYC” line!

Why should you give a whiz about another version of Minglewood?

Standing On The Moon

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Beautiful version of what IMHO is maybe their most perfect song. And Jerry's tone on the solo!
Samson and Delilah
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Just ridiculous. I need to check this whole show out; it seemed uninspired at first, but by the time Bobby comes back in, the whole band crackles with the sort of energy I always associate with a great show. edit: Good call on that matrix, great sound! The slow start is still pretty good, and the band is clearly eating their wheaties. Jerry. devours. this.

Some tender moments, some powerful ones. Keith seems to be having a good night, but the whole band plays as one.
Sugar Magnolia

Olympia Theater

Hard to Handle
