Tennessee Jed
Philicious! Seems like this is the song where they really hit the groove in this fine show
3
Pretty Peggy O
Gorgeous interplay all around

Shakedown Street
This show and especially this song Jerry and the Band are in zen with the crowd. Absolute treasure in air. My feet would have leaked all the doses.
6
Jack Straw
The early Brent era can really be jaw dropping, as this is...epic Jack straws were aplenty in 79....

Stagger Lee
The boys deliver big time...great build up

Looks Like Rain
Bobby wails beautifully on the "It's just that IIIII..." part..Nice guitar solo as well.
8
Passenger
Super-charged EARLY Brent version rips and tears and shreds. Final jam before the coda is the best they ever did in this tune. Goes to 11.
4
Not Fade Away
With John Cipollina sitting in on a gorgeous jamming guitar. Lengthy jams pushed by all the guitar players
2
Black Peter
Why isn't this here? Cippolina chips in to make this a unique, and fully voiced Peter.

Estimated Prophet
Shakes out of its skin - Jer was ready for more in the jam

Wave-Crest Hyper-Fiddling
