Brent's playing goes far outside of the rhythmic structures the rest of the band is using to support him, shaking them out of their complacency.

Acceptable slide playing from Bobby. Nice extended organ solo, MIDI sax solo. Whole band playing blues choruses gives first set particular vibe.

Boston Garden

Looser and hotter than its more famous brethren from the following night, but Garcia gets buried some in the mix.

To my ears, the Betty Boards usually have a fair amount of Keith. Come hear why.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

so much nasty bluesy Pig-era swagger in these NFA jams
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

the confident, patient space of some hushed ritual. They're playing whispers in a temple. Destructive.
Stella Blue

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

One of the most expressive versions I've heard. and the > in and out are stellar blues
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Hell yes! great set from a great run. Beginning of TOO drips in from space—threads and pounds its way into a great build back into the material—into an ethereal transition to Stella. Absolute must hear.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Another pounding version from this tour
