About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Deal
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle

5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
Crazy Fingers
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

The beginning to this version is stellar. The whole version is good, but this one and 6/17/75 have great openings.
Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 12, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Yes, this is top 10. Every version from 4/30-6/9, with 9/3 and the early November shows. This one cranks. I’d put 4/15/78 in the discussion too
Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

Reprise is where it’s at
