This is a good version and I really like the tone on Garcia’s guitar during the solo and great closing vocals. Give it a listen.

The first live version needs to be on this list, very well sung by Garcia and well played. They didn’t play this song enough.

“Thought I heard a young man” lines are just off the charts, Garcia giving every ounce. Give it a listen

If Sept ’87 MSG is most people’s favorite version, (at least the most votes for a 80’s version) than this version needs to be recognized.

Another great vesion from ’71 with a unique transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda, this time into JBG.

Following a great Looks Like Rain, closes the 1st set in fine form, check it out.
Let It Grow
May 14, 1978
Providence Civic Center

30 Trips show, heard this Let it Grow on the Tapers Section back in 08', took a few years to vote it into my top 10, it is worthy, very patient jam, like the entire show and then whooom, hyper space, (just saw The Force Awakens) the finale is awesome, check it out. The entire shown is worthy.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Very hot, the jam after the Supplication vocals is amazing, incendiary. Should be voted higher.

Fall 77’ is where it is at with another ripping “Might as Well” This one released as bonus material on Dick’s Picks Vol 34.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

Hand’s down the best of the best, what a way to open a show, Since we just had a Fall 77’ official release (Dave’s Pick Vol 12 Colgate University) , it may be awhile till this show is given is rightful due. Wow, just listened to it again.
