Bobby belts it, Keith slides in perfect synchronicity. Don't miss the surprise " Johnny B. Goode" parts Garcia throws in.

In the transition in from "Wheel," you can hear some of the ideas Garcia brings into his solos during the mid- and late- May "TOO"s

The chords and initial drum beat said "NFA," the the groove kept saying "Iko."

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
Dec. 19, 1978
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
