Brent contributes a lot to this brief, beautiful, disturbing Space.

Glenns Falls Civic Center

It's hard to say exactly why this version of this tune that no one thinks about too much is heady, but it really, really is

McNichols Arena

Builds to a phenomenal peak. Weir and Jerry are on it.

Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

Candyman
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry
Uncle John's Band
May 8, 1980
Glens Falls Civic Center

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
