An absolute shredder that leads into Franklin's to close out a smokin' 1st set
5
Tennessee Jed
Great execution and wow, what great peaks in this one! Listen to the crowd go nuts throughout this AUD. Gotta love '81! :)

Black Peter
Great version from Spring ‘81. Brent’s organ adds some really nice texture
3
Playin' In The Band
Petrified that I'm the first to nominate this - DO NOT SKIP JUST BECAUSE ITS AN AUD - Awesome Playin' that dissolves into a spectacular He's Gone
1
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
"Good luck to the Celtics" - Bobby. I believe in reference to the Pacers game (Celtics lost) great US Blues, Jerry doesn't fumble any vocals *I think*
1
He's Gone
Rolfe AUD tape, someone's son is screaming for this tune through a good part of Set 1. Are you happy now?
1
Not Fade Away
Ace has been conducting an improv symposium this whole night. Basically a proto-Wolf Bros show
1
Terrapin Station
Second set opener, packs a dreamy middle jam and a nice finale into Playin’
