He's Gone
March 21, 1990
Copps Coliseum

God, this one is straight gorgeous. Patient, with excellent Jerry and Brent.
Estimated Prophet
May 4, 1979
Hampton Coliseum

Deep, thick groove in this one. Brent/Jerry joint MVPs.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

The dopeness of this is the Lesh/Rhythm Devils/sprinkles of Keith outro jam, which builds a great head of steam, flawlessly landing into a romping Dancin'. The main jam is clicking, everything falling together just exactly perfect.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Fantastic pacing in this one. I got lost (in the best possible way) in the ethereal spaciness coming out of Scarlett and the Fire delivers in all the ways that you know it should. Easily on the same shelf, if not higher, than many of the oft-lauded May '77 versions
Sugaree
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

This Sugaree is like the little engine that could. Completely overshadowed by what can be easily considered one of the best first sets of all time. I overlooked this almost utterly until the new Dave's release and find myself continually going back to it. Not the longest version, but what is there is stunning. Jerry is completely locked in. One of my new favorites. Dave is continually on a roll with his picks, giving the people what they WANT!
