After 10/29/77 this should be your go-to BP. Emotion oozes and Jer shreds the outro.

A breezy bouncin' bubbly Bobby Beat it...best of the 90's.

Jerry in serious bluegrass mode. Most country-westernized version ever. At the end Phil sez "Thanks, Texans" even tho' they're in NYC. Awesome version

Hornsby gets on board in a big way & Jerry jazzes up the jam sections. Weir slashes away & sings w/passion. Strong candidate for Best of the 90's.

This song was only as good as Bobby was committed to it, and on this night he was 100% in Dylan-idoling mode. Gorgeous rendeition, lovingly sung.

So it's heady why exactly? (Final time played doesn't cut it)

As noted this whole show is given the Rodney Dangerfield for no good reason. Strong '77 NFA here and it's true that the MNS from this show gets deep into "best of" territory.

DeadProf is right in describing this gem as "delicate" but that shouldn't be construed to mean lacking in jam. This is a precise, delicate, and very focused version very typical of May '77 itself, but repeated listening brings out the nuances in this rendition, and it's well worth the journey. Much like my all time favorite version of 10/29/77 this one takes the time to breathe in the intro, gently exploring the terrain before getting into the heart of the song. Jerry's in total command of this version without really ever "going off" yet there is so much richness in his winding, jazzy reading that you don't ever feel a lack of energy. And yes, the melt into Wharf Rat emerges like it was written in the stars. One of the top DP releases of all time from just another spellbinding show from May of '77.

From the show that just missed the boxed set release (5/11-5/17) yet is arguably as good if not better than any of those shows (probably falls second only to 5/17). This Stella is a moody, true ballad beast...not for anyone lacking patience, this takes demanded, active listening to appreciate and yeah, the solo work by Jerry is the pay-off. There's also a killer Lazy Lightning>Supplication from this show with many other big highlights.

This was indeed Donna's greatest tune, and this version is as good an example of what she could bring to this tune as any that exists.
