1970s - #6: As we've discussed in numerous posts on this blog, 1978 was a year of highs and lows for the Grateful Dead. Some moments the band channeled the magic of 1977, while at others they clearly sounded like a group that needed to shake things up, which they finally did in February 1979 when Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux departed. That said, the spring tour that year was obviously a high point, as shows from April 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 14, 15, 16, 22, and 24, and May 10, 11 and 14 have all been officially released (I was at May 10 & 11, my 2nd and 3rd Dead shows - my first, Englistown on September 3, 1977 was also offically released - quite a start to my long strange trip!). This soundboard recording captures the Dead during that excellnt Spring 1978 run, in Lexington on April 21, 1978, 47 years ago today. By the way, this was just the 2nd time that the band played Werewolves of London!
