Wow this version smokes, only an (Great) AUD recording is available, but Jerry is possessed, kinds of blows up at the end, but the middle jam rocks.

Not surprised this version is not listed, only an AUD recording is available, make sure you get the Space_Wharf Rat into, Phil is divine.

Great version there’s a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf4B-p3B3K0 During the jam the video focuses on Phil and he is clearly having a blast.

The bust out version, 1st one since the Melk Weg, what a run at the BCT. Give it a listen.

Long, long closing jam, major Phil bombs and fiery strumming by both Weir and Garcia, give it a listen. Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
