Looks Like Rain

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

No doubt with a better source this would be high up on the list. Listen to Jerry's supersonic flyby as Bobby and Donna caress the out chorus.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

Help us Charlie Miller, you're our only hope! Seriously though, this is a blisteringly hot version. Don't miss it.

Dancin' in the Streets

Club Front Studio

Very cool studio rehearsals with new grooves and wildly flanged sound. Fall '76 versions are some of the best, and here they are still in the egg.

The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Jerry tears this one apart with a shredding solo. The link here is bass-heavy SBD with some decay, but just brilliant playing by all.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Colt Park

Notable for a 6-min opening jam that comes out of Wharf Rat, very cool, mislabeled "Drums". The GDTRFB smokes too.

Eyes Of The World
Feb. 3, 1978
Dane County Coliseum

Sparkling, effervescent, crystal clear and overflowing with inspiration. This one soars on wings a mile long, lifts off like sparkling light dancing on the ripples on the calm, powerful, and open sea. Certainly it's one of the great beauties. Cool comments Heads: I like "This is why and how" - Thanks Wookie.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

They stretch this out and really take off in the FGJ, like a chemical reaction slowly churning up, then building to a bubbling musical overflow.
El Paso
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

The honkytonk first set is perfected here. Jerry is possessed, galloping 100 mph behind, around, above, and in-between Bobby's flawless delivery. El Paso never gets enough love... but you can tell they're just having a blast here.
Mexicali Blues
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Follows straight out of a very western-swinging Deal and holds onto the desperado theme. Some folks find this show to be a bit too mellow, a bit slower tempo for an era filled with electrifying whirligigs, but this Mexicali shows how well they could sync together at any speed, at any energy level during this peak era.
