Wow! If this doesn't get you bouncing in your chair, you need a doctor.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

I agree, this one could easily squeeze into the top ten. Nice teases of a UJB jam leading into the transition.
Terrapin Station

Augusta Civic Center

Like grendel said, It's worth noting that the Archive link does Not take you to the best version of this show. The Miller soundboard recording really shows off Jerry's vocals and the Brent/Bobby harmonies on this sweet sounding Terrapin. Chrome users - look up the Grateful Grabber extension.
Playin' In The Band
May 3, 1979
Charlotte Coliseum

Yes! I'm listening to this gem now. Very Spacey Playin' just about all Jerry. The rookie does an admirable job of hanging in there.

Deer Creek Music Center

Wow. It's stuff like this that is making me rethink listening habits that ignore the post Brent era of the band.
