Stayin' Alive teases carried over from Me and My Uncle. Ballsy version

Me and My Uncle

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Stayin' Alive tease to open and significant teases by Keith throughout. Most interesting version by far - (teases continue into a romping Big River)

Truckin'
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

Gigantic early peak, followed by high energy band interplay, concluded with some jacked up speedy noodling. Hard to ask for more

Broome County Arena

End jam has some of the best Bobby/Jerry interplay I can recall - truly incredible. Leads into a heart stopping Truckin'. Peep it

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.

Nassau Coliseum

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys

Meadowlands Arena

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
