Laguna Seca Raceway

Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Standout solo section with entire band playing interesting lines. Romping, stomping fun. Also not to be missed are some funny Bobby remarks re Phil breaking string (something about a man in a sharp suit smoking a cigar, with wire cutters). Billy AND Mickey’s birthday today (Parish's real birthday) before a surprisingly banging version of “Funiculi Funicula.”

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Aug. 16, 1980
Mississippi River Festival

Worth a vote for that super sick peak in the > alone. Everything else is just nasty. Nice one.
