Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice locked in version. 13 minutes of what a Playin' should be.

Might As Well
Oct. 10, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This show is often overlooked, but excellent on its own merits. Opens with a bang with a powerful Might As Well.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I really love this Supplication. It starts pretty chill and then catches fire.

Pure version here!
Not Fade Away
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

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
Feb. 18, 1971
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!
Sugaree
June 8, 1977
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.
