Good early version, (5th time played) The only time I saw it close the first set, worth a listen.

My favorite “Wish I was a Headlight”, if you knew this version, you would vote. Give it a listen.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Rec Hall, Penn State U

The final jam goes at least once more around than usual. Weir is strumming like a mad man and Lesh as many power chords, great version.RT Vol. 3 No. 4

Jack Straw

Winterland Arena

Good call CrackStraw, (if that’s your REAL name), very fine version. I always like the 1st set closer position for a smokin’ Jack Straw. Can’t decide if I like this one over the 10-22-78 version (RT Vol. 1 No. 4), can’t go wrong with most ’78 Jack Straws.

The Spectrum

Ya this one rocks, Phil is clearly on-point throughout. Good call DarkStar transitive axis, this version should have a least a few more votes, RT No. 1 Vol 1 and the Full shows from The Spectrum. Weir is very low in these mixes, almost criminal since he adds so much to this song. Love when Garcia emphatically sings the final verses, he belts these out with gusto.

Richmond Coliseum

If I only had one vote, this version would be it. The “Wait a minute…. “ stops are classic “Bobby Rock Star” moments, I grin every time I hear it, Garcia last solo isn’t too shabby either. Dick’s Picks Vol. 21, so you should know this version, if you need to listen again, do so, but vote either way.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cape Cod Coliseum

How does this version only have 1 vote? The transition jam is very nice and the Rider flat out rocks, major Phil Bombs. Give it a listen and vote.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Very hot version, top 2 or 3 from ’77, (’78 being my favorite year). Love how they seem to finish the closing jam, but then continue on for a couple more bars.
