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
May 14, 1978
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
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Jerry rips a sick intro solo. Hyped up energy

Feel Like A Stranger
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

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

William and Mary College Hall

Definitely worth listening to for the rhythmic oddity. I can't tell whether it was purposeful or just out of sync (I felt like the former, but not certain?). Worth it for something different, if nothing else
Playin' In The Band

William and Mary College Hall

Very choice. I felt like this cracked my head open, then patiently melded it back together on a concerted listen.

Absolutely cracks with energy. The ramp up is a powerhouse. So strange, almost a year gap until this version, then not played again until Nov '79. They made this one count at least!
The Eleven
Aug. 24, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

Tizzy of frantic jamming, then boils down into a bluesy goo > flawless transition to Death Don't Have

Capitol Theater

BIG bounce to this one. Amped UP
