The last halfstep of '76. After Rio Grandeo everyone including the crowd gets into it. The source is a B+ AUD.

This one is fiery, especially the solo, in the vein of 8/24/80, including a hint of a Delilah Jones growl.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Rutgers Athletic Center

The section before rio grandeo is delicate and resplendent.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

There is a Mountain Jam tease in the transition and that only plays a bit part in what makes this pair so good.
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The first solo is crisp and lightning fast, but the second one is a religious experience. This Deal is dangerously underrated - I urge you not to give into to the squirrel-headed demagoguery of the versions in front of this masterpiece.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This show is great - and this BEW is a great recommendation. Jerry's solo is great, but made better by the solo that Brent is basically playing at the same time. Top 20.

Nothing. This is excellent.
