Wharf Rat

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).
Estimated Prophet

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.
Pretty Peggy O
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.
Friend of the Devil

Uptown Theater

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.
