Excellent! Galloping through the continuum, the Gd knew this world like a second skin at this point, inspired architecture from beautiful to ugly

Top-shelf intro, jerry flying across the fretboard in fits of rage, Weir pillows, wharf fakeout and a blue hot Truckin' to follow. phil/bren intensity

softly seeps from a beautiful UJB jam. Mickey's solo is fantastic, crackling with come-hither mystery. Expertly done crescendo to a nasty, short space

Heroically kind, rip-roaring, ecstatic.

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

great call, this seems like a major version- 77 is of course the heyday of slow he's gone and this one passes with honors. Betty board is translucent honey. This version is a fearful beggar experiencing disregulation of identity- devils find the spot in the downbeat completely free of anticipation, Phil 'n' Bob jigsaws aligning. Great coda and sprawling dark jam to follow.
Eyes Of The World

Greensboro Coliseum

absolute face melter of a version, cauldron stirring
Stella Blue
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

fantastic Stella>Franklins. Jerry's not ready to quit and the boys get the hint.
Cold Rain and Snow

Frost Amphitheatre

firey versh. Devils really locking in this first set, Phil is out of control per the norm for 84/85, goes into a nice music never stopped.
