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
Aug. 16, 1981
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.

Feel Like A Stranger
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

This is the top for me. I dont want to get any higher on this song and I'll have to move on.
Sugaree
Sept. 6, 1980
State Fairgrounds

Solo number 2 is an absolute shredfest. I do not use that word lightly. This is certainly underrated and belongs where the June 80 dead in Alaska Sugaree is - if not higher.
Scarlet Begonias
March 22, 1985
Hampton Coliseum

This is great. Jerry peaks twice during the scarlet solo and voodooola has this video on YouTube. Jerry teases hell in a bucket early in the transition and this is not a lengthy transition - it's still cool. But a sick scarlet solo and the bucket is everything it should be to open set 2.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

This is not my period at all, but cgarces is right. Post rio grandeo is the best post coma stuff I've heard and before was good and the man is in voice for the evening. There is life after the coma.
The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

The outro is the real deal. Garcia gets to fanning, but then appears to go for a higher peak, which he never really achieves, but he does extend the shredding for a bit, so no real complaints. Clearly this belongs in the top 10.
