U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

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.

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.
Sugaree
May 28, 1977
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!
Sugaree

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.
