Cal Expo

Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

It Must Have Been The Roses

Philadelphia Civic Center

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

Franklin's Tower

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Great version at the end of an amazing 2nd set sequence. Love what Bobby plays at the end, and Jerry throughout.
Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).
Estimated Prophet
July 5, 1978
Omaha Civic Auditorium

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.
Pretty Peggy O

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.
