Greatest Story Ever Told

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry
Mama Tried

Oakland Auditorium

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 27, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 27, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 10, 1979
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Jerry really nails the solo in Scarlet and is in control throughout. Great transition with stabbing accents by Bobby. Outrageous end to FOTM.
