The Spectrum

It's the jam before Stagger Lee gets shot in the balls that defines this one. Check out this aud. Great Ace slide all show!

Looks Like Rain
Dec. 27, 1981
Oakland Auditorium

Jerry plays the most beautiful licks throughout this ending
Jack Straw
Oct. 17, 1978
Winterland Arena

I give this one a slight edge over 10/22 because the first time I ever heard this Jack Straw was the first time I realized how bad ass the song can get
Sugar Magnolia

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

cgarces is right about this one trust me
Sugar Magnolia
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry goes full pop-rock -not much noodling, mostly repetitive riffing...same style utilized in Jack Straw, OMSN and US Blues from this show and I love it. Hard rock Garcia is bad ass!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 18, 1978
Uptown Theatre

Jerry shows off how quick he can hit notes during Scarlet mid song jam and pretty exiting stuff during > into a short but exciting Fire featuring a little high energy Jer fanning at the end.
