Feel Like A Stranger
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

On fire and worth a loud listen

Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.
Pretty Peggy O
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
Casey Jones
Jan. 15, 1979
Springfield Civic Center

Great vocals and solo
Black Peter
Jan. 5, 1979
The Spectrum

Exceptional guitar solo
