Mind Left Body Jam

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.

Deal
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle

5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
Crazy Fingers
June 3, 1976
Paramount Theatre

The beginning to this version is stellar. The whole version is good, but this one and 6/17/75 have great openings.
Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 12, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Yes, this is top 10. Every version from 4/30-6/9, with 9/3 and the early November shows. This one cranks. I’d put 4/15/78 in the discussion too
Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

Reprise is where it’s at
