Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Surprised this one hasn’t been nominated, a great version with impassioned Garcia vocals and lead runs, give it a listen. Love the vocal coda as well.

Phil's Earthquake Space needs to be listed, funny, scary, bizarre. With the Raven space the following night in Baltimore, two great shows in a row.

Nassau Coliseum

You can tell it’s going to be a good one when Garcia belts out the early “If I told bout all that went down…” line with vim and vigor.

Black Peter
April 14, 1978
Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

The “Run and See” portion of this Black Peter is off the charts, the best I have heard. The Charlie Miller SB transfer is outstanding, give it a listen. There needs to be an official release from the Spring ’78 Virginia shows, (2 Virgina , 1 West VA) all are very good.
Aiko Aiko
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

The first one is a good version, coming out of St Stephens. I sure many thought it was Not Fade Away, which they then seamlessly transition into after Aiko. Great sequence, give it a listen.

Would have nominated this version, I Love It!!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

This one needs more votes, you should have it, Dick's Picks #34, you know the saying "When Phil is on..."
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

This is when I “Got It”, my third show, up all night started moving forward after the break, found a milk crate about 100’ from the massive stage, the Half-Step in the first set gave me chills, but this Eyes just transcended space and time that day, (It was my first dance song at my wedding, some 23 years later) and continues to inspire me.
