The Ark

Crazy slide licks, wondeful version from a show with one of the best second sets of all time! Jerry goes nuts a little over 3 minutes in . . .

Not sure why the next night gets all the love, this one's great, too!

Cassell Coliseum - Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Best of the best of the 77-78 versions. Jerry absolutely ripping licks and vocals ... "Run and See!!" series absolutely off-the-wall, then into S. Mag

Music Hall

Can't believe no one posted this. Far superior to 7/17/76. Filler on the new release (Jan 2012). Comes out of Wharf Rat!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

78's where it's at with Scarlet-Fire -- the band really takes it in so many directions throughout the year. This is a superb rendition, spot on . . .

Hot, Hot, Hot! Great interplay with Brent really shining . . . best I've ever heard!

The Omni

Love when they do the Nobody's Fault But Mine jam, and this one is particularly fluid, coming off a huge Jerry solo sequence -- truly stellar.

Huntington Civic Center

Bobby butchers the lyrics but the band is totally on for the remainder. Very hot!
