Awesome version. Bob basically takes lead on the transition. Pretty cool playing by him. Worth a listen.

I love Deals from the 90's. They get jammed out to the max. This one is no different.

Just a killer version...agree with Phil's super cool intro and as stated....Jer is in a zone this whole night. Special stuff this night!
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

I disagree with this being number 1...not even top 25 for me. There are at least 10 versions from 1977 that blow this away. big over-rated chant here!!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Decided to throw this 39 minute beast in...its been awhile. It probably sneaks in as the 4th or 5th best ever. For historical purposes, every head needs to listen to this at least once in their life. This one demands respect!

Winterland Arena

This three show run is a microcosm of the May 77 tour. It does contain some of the best versions of the tour too. But also in the three shows it has a majority of the repertoire that was played at that time, all played at a super high level. Some may say this run has the top 5 all-time Peggy-O, Music, Candyman, Sugaree, Estimated, Eyes, Terrapin, Dew, UJB, Jack a Roe, O1, Wharf Rat, GDTRFB, Brokedown, 1/2 Step, Stephen, to name a few. Just an amazing box set. DL said that in regards to 77, 6/7 is top 15, 6/8 is top 10, and 6/9 is top 3....and I completely agree....I recommend everyone spin this whole run.
