There are at least 21 23 Take A Step Backs.
The new Swing Feb 27, 1977 has one too ! so does 11-21-1978
I saw 8 of the first 15 all in the middle years 1977 to 1980, all on the East Coast.
Cool that I was a Take A Step Back magnet, between Springfield 1977 and Lewiston 1980. I saw
seven of 11 middle versions or more than 63%.
01. 10-02-72 The First One occurs in Bug-Eyed Super Packed In Springfield of course after a Jet to the Promise Land
02. 12-08-73 Duke
Duke gets one that tells folks to get back to their seats.
03. 04-23-77 My 1st
My first and Springfield's second
Starts set two CLICK ON THIS ONE FROM SPRINGFIELD
04. 05-08-77, AT Cornell, also starts set two. Cool.
05. 09-03-77 Englishtown was My 2nd.
"Take a Step Back" before "Half Step" - the Dead left the stage for a few minutes after Samson
06. 11-05-77 My 3rd
There were three this night including at top of the show before Minglewood, after third show Looks Like Rain before Direwolf and as part of the Phil Lesh opening solo slow march into Eyes at the beginning of the second set. Pure bliss.
07. 11-06-77 My 4th and the very next night. These upstate general admin shows were the bomb, but also horribly smashed up front. Rick Sullivan wisely chose the side for better comfort. Take a Step back in the first set between Jack Straw, song two and Tennessee Jed.
08. 05-07-78, Troy, NY reported to be multiple times, i expect early set one
11-21- Rochester
09. 05-09-79, back in Binghamton My 5th (also my 6th show in a week)

1.2. Sugaree
1.3. Bob says "Take a Step Back"
1.4. Me And My Uncle
1.5. Phil says "Take a Step Back", Technical Problems
10. 05-13-79, Portland, ME My 6th
After Sugaree opened in set one, Take A Steep Back preceeded Mama Tried.
11. 10-31-79, Nassau
Several great long first set breaks
12. 05-06-80, Penn State, opens set two before China Rider
13. 09-06-80, Lewiston My 7th
The last 8, 1983-1992
After two indoors shows, in the mid-west and upstate, the last six were all big outdoor shows in the East Coast. Since I lived in California, I saw none of these versions after seeing more than 50% of the first 13 versions.
14. 06-24-83 Madison, set two Before Help>Slip>Franklin
