U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin' encore. You know the playing was hot when even this is a scorcher.

Samson and Delilah
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Smokin little number boosts the second set.
25
New Minglewood Blues
Jan. 22, 1978
McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Bobby seems on this whole night, and Jerry's tone is unreal.

One of the first Dead songs I ever heard way back in the day. Kicks off a raging Set II.

Not Fade Away
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

so much nasty bluesy Pig-era swagger in these NFA jams
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

the confident, patient space of some hushed ritual. They're playing whispers in a temple. Destructive.
Stella Blue
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

One of the most expressive versions I've heard. and the > in and out are stellar blues
The Other One
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Hell yes! great set from a great run. Beginning of TOO drips in from space—threads and pounds its way into a great build back into the material—into an ethereal transition to Stella. Absolute must hear.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 16, 1978
Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Another pounding version from this tour
