Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

Right out of the chutes, no warm-up high octane Dead. Cool Brent solo drives into a MANIC Jerry jam.
Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

Hell yeah this is the top performance of this beautiful song. It's outstanding.

Hershey Park Stadium

Kicks off a triplet of Garcia songs. This version is smooth and transitions sweetly into Comes a Time. Beautiful.

Swing Auditorium

I love Jerry's run up the neck to start the 2nd solo. And Keith's got the honky tonk keys going on. Like it!

Madison Square Garden

Vote here for Brent's solo alone. Great stuff.
