New Haven Coliseum

Several relentless guitar passages throughout.

Hard to believe this is an AUD. 8:00-8:40 is a good example - crystal clear and tight.

Not too fast and not too slow with some nice double time at the end.

Jerry has laryngitis, so only Bobby tunes set 2 this day, and Keith Godchaux takes over the 2nd half of this PITB, especially the last 5 minutes.

City Island

This is an eleven minute Deal with a bunch of ebbs, flows and peaks.

I listened to this really loud and I would suggest to anyone doing the same.

I concur. If you dig 11/2 or 11/6/77, this is some of that same vintage. Jerry couldn't sing second half of this show [and none the next night at all], so he went after it the only other way he could.

The SBD linked from this page has the timings wrong. The following is also a SBD, but the tracks are split appropriately: https://archive.org/details/gd1978-01-06.sbd.wizard.24629.sbeok.shnf

This is great. It helps that the SBD is of such a high quality.
Sugaree
April 12, 1982
Nassau Coliseum

Many Sugarees have a minimalist 3rd solo that's really more an interlude than a solo break. This one has a full 3rd solo where Jerry plays (for lack of a better phrase) understated hummingbird for the majority until he gets into a beautiful peak episode from 10:30-11:30. Three solos: good, better, then best.
