Tasty Jack Straw>Jack a Roe. His new guitar sound was perfect for the tune. FYI...listen to one of the best Dews ever!

Great version and real underated show. Bob throws in some China Cat licks. Overall, just a real cool vibe with this Bertha.

This is referred to as Space on the box set. Its the isolated Jerry solo in between UJB and Wharf Rat. All of this show is so sweet.

Pure version here!

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.
