Me and My Uncle
April 24, 1978
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

He's Gone
May 9, 1979
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

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

That comment was absolutely perfect/hilarious and I could not agree more. This and Barton - fine shows, no question, but not every song is the best ever. "Jerry cleared his throat as set two started and it was the best throat clearing the band has ever done."

Oh man, this is flawless! Grisman with some amazing fills on mandolin. Such a bute!
