He's Gone

Uptown Theatre

Unique section after the gospel singing. Great transition to TOO

Touch of Grey

Capital Centre

The debut, as an encore - raw, lyrics askew, fun times

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 21, 1978
The Summit

A speedy rendition on a single extant AUD from what is IMO the golden age of TMNS. Good for 77-Feb79, but compares favorably to any MNS thereafter.

Cumberland Blues

Greek Theater

This one cooks. It’s the third one since 74, but it’s all so fluid.

Mind Left Body Jam
Sept. 6, 1979
Madison Square Garden

The transition between NFA and Stella is about a minute of MLB. Not the best, but a unique transition and tease for 1979.

This is great with a sweet solo.

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

I don’t have much to add to what grendel says. The Fire is loud, clear, confident and I also prefer the matrix to the sbd which lacks the warmth that you get with the matrix without sacrificing clarity. An all time Fire.

This one is for real. Great solos, bob on slide is doable, and I would check any other boxes too

Richmond Coliseum

Jerry’s playing is sharp and clear, and he is clearly into it. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
