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.

Terrapin Station
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Crystal clear recording and tremendous Terrapin
Sugaree
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

The third solo is intense, and ends with a flurry. The whole version is good - a nice, expansive opener of a Sugaree. Some others of this era that are above on this list open their shows as well - 10/17/83, 6/21/80 and 12/28/79
The Other One
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

This one is such a rich exploration. I was surprised.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 2, 1981
The Spectrum

There are a couple of blown lyrics in Scarlet, and one right before the transition begins, and that usually means Jerry will try to make up for it. I love Bob at the beginning of the transition, and that whole 7 min or so is spectacular and Jerry does work hard. Fire’s great too. I’ve loved finds like this over the years on this site, and I’ll be with this one for a while.
Space
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

It’s called Phil and Ned on the linked source and it’s pretty weird man, as all the seastones stuff from 74 is. Any difference with space is semantic. Aliens have landed and are broadcasting AM radio.
