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.

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

I love how Phil lays back for the first few bars, then Bam! slams it home. The middle jam in the version is what make is so special, give it a listen you won’t be disappointed.
The Music Never Stopped
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

This version needs more votes. Many, (if not all ’77-’78) versions have a smoking / fanning finale, but this version has the most intense middle jam. Jerry starts this amazing run, almost too fast, as he misses a few notes, but it is breathtaking as they continue to jam and then in unison, nail the return to the main melody.
Ship of Fools
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

I agree, this is a great version, after Jerry’s bout with laryngitis, the Spring of 78 through Red Rocks has some of his most impassioned singing ever.
Ship of Fools
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

One of the most passionately sung Ship of Fools ever played, all the Jerry ballads from these two nights at Red Rocks should be on the list.
Looks Like Rain
May 9, 1981
Nassau Coliseum

I was with Rob when he made this tape and when they finish LLR, we look at each other and just smiled, nodded and said WOW! Great version, the China>Rider that follows is also very good, give it a listen
