An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

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.

What a thoughtful review
The Wheel
Aug. 28, 1981
Long Beach Arena

This one is most definitely unique. It's worth hunting down. I saw the comment today and when I searched it on YouTube, a video with just the outro (the last 6:29) is one of the top hits. That was an early indication that this one is special.

I hadn't heard it. I haven't heard another one like it. Sound quality is passable, but I wouldn't mind hearing this one a bit clearer. I've followed Sharleena's advice for years now and I've never been let down.
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The new JGB release has some filler tracks from 6/1/81 and there is a Deal that is related to this one. It’s not as great as 5/1, but you will recognize the tone and an aggressiveness that it shares. I know that JGB Deal from 89-91 is highly esteemed and these two Deals, along with 11/30/80 are where it all began. I do not think that 5/1 can be beat and I love Deal in different eras and with different personnel. There is no outro solo prior to September 1980 and that makes it difficult to compare those two eras but the shredding started here.
