Lucky enough to be at this show. Candyman blew everyone away--best song played that night. Awesome trippy guitar jam &Jer belts out vocals

Gorgeous, incredible, up and down, carnival-like bridge jam by Jerry. Picture perfect version--no flaws

April '78 S>F's often mentioned are 4/16 and 4/24 (rightly so) but this one is every bit as good. Superior transition jam--, beautiful, & powerful

Starts out Jazzy, explorative, takes its time, 3 minute intro, then blasts off into the stratosphere with intense Garcia-led jamming

They do some jamming towards the end of this Playin' that's as cool and jumpin jive jazzy as anything ever...drops into a sweet Cosmic Chuck after, but listen to the crowd respond to the improv jam that gets going towards the end (listed on the AUD as Stronger Than Dirt...perhaps...sounds different to me, but who knows.) Look for the Miller upgrade and get on this one.

@scarlet_Fire Would be curious to hear your review of 4-13 relative to this and 4-20, which I agree, gets the nod a bit over this one. Listening again what I find interesting is that transition period you mentioned...it feels like the whole band is ready to go into Fire (you can hear Bob tentatively open the rhythm and Phil is right at the edge), and they're just waiting on Jerry, who's definitely noodling along at his own pace and not at all interested in starting until he's damn ready to do so. (I wonder if this being '84 and Jer in the throes of a pretty bad habit, that's partly why), but what I do like is that the other guys go kind of all quiet while letting Jerry make the first move into Fire, and the result is that his noodling takes on a contemplative and atmospheric quality that somehow works once he does pick up the Fire theme...from there the intro works beautifully as Brent again glides along adding flourishes and Phil does what he does so well on this tune. What holds this one back from 4-20 for me is once they're deeper into Fire the tempo drags a bit and it doesn't have the power that 4-20 has. I upvoted it b/c it does have a lot of interesting sections (Brent is awesome during the jam out of Scarlet) and it's a version more about the journey than the arrival.

This is my new favorite version. I know of no other in which Keith makes his piano sound like he's playing in a wild west honky tonk saloon. Jerry rips leads and Bobby takes care of the rest. Segues seamlessly in and out of TOO but needs to be judged mostly on its merits of sounding more like the story the song tells than any other version I've ever heard. Aces.

Light as a breeze, airy and beautiful. A hint of the greater jamming to come in 1977 but mostly a study in flowing, sweeping jazz flourishes. The 6+ minute intro has everyone in great form and Garcia sings each verse just exactly perfectly. Outstanding version understandably low-ranked due only to the sheer volume of amazing versions of this tune, but it should not be overlooked. Easily one of the best of 1976. Notch it up if you agree.

One of the best sung versions of the 80's, or of any era, in fact.
