May '78

I've been revisiting the Springfield (5/11/78), Philadelphia (5/13/78) and Providence (5/14/78) shows and they are simply amazing!

The energy is off the charts, you can hear how much fun they're having (mescaline aside). Yet they're still incredibly leaned in and tight, the playing is cohesive and adventurous.

It's truly fascinating how different these shows are from April '78. It's like a totally different band. The Dead never fail to impress!

What are your favorite moments from this 10 show tour?
