Darkness Jam
May 7, 1970
DuPont Gym - MIT

The first one, (maybe not, unheard tapes are being released Dave’s Picks Vol 6), this Darkness Jam is in the middle of an amazing Lovelight.

Darkness Jam
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

Starting at the 7:55 minute mark of GDTR, again very short, but a beautiful Darkness Jam. On RT Vol. 1 No. 3, give it a listen.

He's Gone
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

Very sublime into by Lesh start this soulful He’s Gone. The jam that follows breaks down to pure chaos, Fall ’79 rules again.

Morning Dew
Sept. 17, 1982
Cumberland County Civic Center

Hard to believe this version has not been nominated, one of the beat from ’82, Jerry in strong voice, Phil bombs. Good matrix out now as well.

Another great version from the fall of ’79. Phil is driving this train, powerful chords throughout, nice Weir solo and then Jerry kills it. “The Song that Women sung…” Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show
Jack Straw

Campus Stadium - University Of California

“Grendel Books and Music” is right, this version smokes. I just finished listening to the second set of this show, which has some very Heady versions as well.
Deal
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

“Coralsandbelow” and “Maximillian” If you guys like this Deal, (which I also do as well), check out the UVM version from 5/6/78, 3 shows before this one. The Donna warning is also appropriate.
Not Fade Away
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

Yes this whole jam is very good, I love the slow mellow Jerry space jam that melts into Stella Blue, great nomination “hmi1892- another fan”.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
June 25, 1978
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Torin, never stop now is soo right, this version is “Balls Out Rock and Roll”, the peak will leave you breathless, very, very aggressive, surprised they didn’t blow a few speakers.
