Silva Hall at the Hult Center

A low key Drums leads to a Space that I've heard others (accurately) describe as "dark" and "weird"

A nice version but I love the jam that bridges PITB with this

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Not a raucous version like 12/26 but still quite groovy, w/ heavy Phil bass

Morning Dew

Hippodrome

This isn't a monster like 5/8/77 but it's a sweet mellower version w/ a hot ending.

Mexicali Blues
Nov. 24, 1979
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This can also be described as a bouncy version. There's some quality guitar and organ action.

Oh, this is a pretty rockin' version, and the hot audience does help also.

Yes this was a swell version, and this is the only time the song was actually played in Alabama.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The jamming in between the two songs... pretty awesome.

I am not sure if that blues jam is original or something they're covering; either way it's pretty cool.

I would listen to this but I don't find any recordings on this date with Althea; did you get the date right?
