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

Casey Jones
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Now this is what I was hoping from this site, a great version of a classic song that I have never heard. This is indeed one of the best Casey Jones ever played. The rust was just shrugged off, (first one since ’74) and a layered middle jam, (when Jerry spaced the vocals) just flows, 4 or 5 times around with Keith even taking a turn is amazing, the closing vocals are also very strong. Thanks for the insight.
Sugar Magnolia
June 20, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

The best Sugar Magnolia I saw live, love the aboriginal rap at the end, wonder if they are right and this is all “Just a Dream”.
The Music Never Stopped
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

A close second to 04-24 Normal, the two best from '78 for sure
Dancin' in the Streets
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

My first Dancin’ and one of the best all time. The final vocal jam makes me smile every time I hear it.
Stella Blue
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This one was when I got “Stella” probably too high for my first two, 1978-05-05_Dartmouth and 1978-05-11_Springfield and it became my favorite Jerry ballad for my remaining years on tour. I love when they bring it to a completion, not cut off to soon and this one soars.
