Big River
Aug. 13, 1979
McNichols Arena

Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

Samson and Delilah
May 8, 1979
Recreation Hall - Penn State University

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

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

Black Peter
Jan. 5, 1979
The Spectrum
