Aiko Aiko was a great opener to an average show. Jerry had some good leads and great vocals to finish.

Great Weir vocal. The wrap at the end is short but fun. Just found this SB and will give the whole show a listen

Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Started the second set about mid-way from the SB to the stage, by the time the set ended with Truckin, I was not more that 4 or 5 people back. After the astonishing Wharf Rat, (I need to vote for that one as well), the quick Stephens reprise and then Billy stands up and yells “Truckin’” The bounce to the lyrical part is infectious, Phil front and center singing away. The concluding jam is just outstanding. After the first peak, when they fall in to the give and take blues rift, Jerry pushing his effects pedals and wham, major distortion, this is a pure moment that I’ll never forget. Listen to again, LOUD!

This version needs to be ranked higher, on par with the other great versions from the Spring '77 tour, give it a listen and see / hear for yourself

Boston Music Hall

Fall ’71 is indeed a special era. Keith added presence boosted Jerry, just as Brent did in ’79. Keith is all over this Casey Jones and I again how a lapse, (stopping too soon), they restarting with a sick solo is what makes the Dead the Dead. Great version, top 10.

The third Casey Jones since ’74 is the most balls out rock and roll there is, Best Version yes, Best encore maybe. This version should have way more votes, “If you play it, they will come”
