U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

Another amazing version from ’78, close second to Durham when Garcia’s belts out the final “My O My’s”

Not Fade Away
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

The revving Harley out of “Space” to the beat of NFA makes this version fun and unique and it also shreds, Garcia is clearly having a blast.

Deal
May 6, 1978
Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

This version get ridiculous at the end, all three are just screaming “Don’t You Let That Deal Go Down”

Not Fade Away
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Very aggressive version, smoking into out of space, the GDTR that follows is equally hot, give it a listen.

Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

The Cryptical Reprise is absolutely stunning, and again this whole show could be nominated, Dick’s Picks Vol. 4, listen again and vote.

Knickerbocker Arena

Great 90's version for sure, the one with the most votes, yes, but the BEST ever hardly.

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great version, the bad cut in the SBD is hard to overlook, but give it a listen. Spring ’78 has some of the most impassioned singing by Garcia ever.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Very strong vocals by Weir, the middle jam is very long and the concluding vocals are exceptional, with Weir growling “My Lightning Too”, great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

By far the most fun ever captured on video, chech out the Pete Thownsend windmills during Truckin.
Brown Eyed Women
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great Brown Eyen Women, vocals are sung with gusto and a great guitar run after “Drink down a bottle and you’re ready to kill” line. More songs from RPI should be on the list, it a GREAT show.
