Mind Left Body Jam
Oct. 18, 1978
Winterland Arena

An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

Eyes Of The World

MacArthur Court, U of Oregon

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Not Fade Away
Oct. 3, 1976
Cobo Arena

I missed this the couple of other times you posted on it. The tease is excellent - clear as a bell, but they never leave NFA. I listened to the FM Sbd (https://archive.org/details/gd1976-10-03.fmsbd.jerugim.248.shnf/gd76-10-03iipt07.shn), but I will give this another listen tomorrow on a run and I'll try that aud.
Not Fade Away
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California

Darkstar67 heard that Darkness Jam (a good get!) in the 11/2/79 NFA and that got me looking around for others with unique sections. This one quotes Nobody's Fault But Mine from 5:00-6:00 on the linked source. The whole version is short, but it smokes and Donna sounds lively too.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Funky and played at full volume by everyone, albeit short. Brent and Phil are out front for much of the first half. Definitely unique.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 4, 1977
The Palladium

Typical May 77 precision and fluency before rio grandeo and then decidedly different afterwards: sweet, quiet, subtle - a little weird to be so understated at the end of a show opener, but I like it. The actual singing of rio grandeo is excellent, even if the SQ of this board doesn't stack up against the rest of the month.
