Jerry and Phil kill this encore version

Pauley Pavilion

An undiscovered 01? This one has huge, crazy peaks by Jerry at 4:25 and Jerry and Bobby at 8:05. Madness, fits and starts, like any great O1.

Killer solo

Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Oakland Auditorium

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums

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.
