The delivery of this one...passionate vocals, the kind we so often see in '78...That said, this might be the best sung of that year

Garcia piping in after "they all play on the penny whistle" line with "You can hear them blow!" is a spine tingler moment.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

There definitely is something catchy about this version or otherwise it wouldn't be talked about so much. It certainly is pretty and the transition is real nice. Definitely not my favorite, there are other versions to be reckoned with, but still, nonetheless, it's a very nice piece of music in it's own right. I dig it!

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The way I see it is 77 seems rehearsed and 78 is no holds barred. they hold back a bit in '77 and let it hang loose in '78. Could very well be more drugs...

Yeah I think they hit "11" on this one.
