Sugar Magnolia
April 11, 1978
Fox Theatre

Really melodic jam, which builds incrementally in velocity and intensity - then, screaming sunshine daydream

Cassidy
May 16, 1978
Uptown Theater

Very heady jam segment in this one. Show is a sleeper from May

Cassidy

Providence Civic Center

The latter half of a great on-two punch to kick off the show (1/2 step preceding), this Cassidy is an absolute bute. Bob/Jer communication is tight

New Minglewood Blues

Boston Garden

Jerry rips a sick intro solo. Hyped up energy

Feel Like A Stranger

Boston Garden

The 'butt sweat' meter is off the charts for this. Great Brent work and killer peak

An ethereal flight into the cosmos. This one shines beautifully. Highly recommend

If there was ever any question, the simple answer for this version is "YESSSSS." Jerry attacks each solo with vigor and ferocity. For my ears and preference, it is either this or Alaska '80. This one is just a complete Jerry-lead hose show.

jeeeesus, they likely had to hose down Jerry after this one. Just blistering assault of the song. This is a massive shredfest. Giddddddy UP
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Park West Ski Resort

Jerry with extremely nimble fingers. Great Bobby/Brent/Jerry interplay on the transition
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Really excellent weaving of melodies between Jerry, Bob, and Keith, then a massive swell into a great NFA segue. This version even has giggly "woo!" vocals from Bob. Hard to ask for more...
