A stunning final jam, this Wharf Rat is one of my favorites, listen to the final jam. I believe the 3 night Fri, Sat, Sun run has three of the best J

Surprised this one is not listed, a great year for Half-Step, this one is worth a listen, a good version.

Great end to a great 4 night run, 2 MSG and the 2 Nassau shows. Being the first Casey Jones I saw live makes it special to me, but it smokes. Give i

The most agressive Garcia vocals, matched by his playing, top 10 easy, don't know why it wasn't on the list

Great interplay between Bobby and Jerry. Well jammed out and then the Jerry / Billy solo jam at the end is fabulous. Surprised it is not on the list.

Sugaree
Oct. 17, 1983
Olympic Center

I agree, best of the 80’s for sure, taped this from the 15th row, the whole place was going ape shit.

Hartford Civic Center

I had hypothesized that if ’77 was the band’s peak year, and the East Coast spring tour was the best of the year, then maybe the pinnacle is this Sugaree, the peak of the second jam. All building to that one moment, crystallized on tape and time, I was there, this Sugaree rocks!

New Haven Coliseum

My first show, one of the best Sugaree’s ever. Love how different each solo is. This version just took my breath away, we were just settling in and wham, right out of the gate, after a rockin’ Promised Land, LOVE this Sugaree, check it out. If Dave ever gets back to a Spring ’77 release, New Haven should be it

Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

The second Jerry solo is phenomenal, the whole band is just cranking up the effort, even Weir’s slide it good. The vocals are very impassioned, LOVE this version, check it out.
Stella Blue
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Why only one vote? This is clearly one of the best Stella's of 78’ right after Rupp and Winterland, when has Jerry sung with more emotion? I love the final guitar furry, great stuff. Come on Dark Star, “Transitive Axis”, vote for some great Stella’s.
