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.

Love how Bobby climbs to the peak. Great jam after too.

Broome County Arena

Huge 20-minute version. Jerry is full of ideas and loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide riff at almost 12 minutes in.

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Another third chorus in the solo and Jerry rips it up
Estimated Prophet
May 4, 1979
Hampton Coliseum

Jerry seizes on an interesting theme in the solo and tears it up in the coda.
