There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry's solo is phenomenal.

Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 10, 1979
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Jerry really nails the solo in Scarlet and is in control throughout. Great transition with stabbing accents by Bobby. Outrageous end to FOTM.
Terrapin Station

Kiel Auditorium

Agree with Jort that the middle jam is great. I love the longer middle jams. This was a good year for that. It's confounding that they didn't always stretch out in this perfect modal space.

Uptown Theater

Fantastic version that deserves listens and votes. Very emotional solo, especially the false harmonics. And check out Jerry's vocalizing at the end!
Estimated Prophet

Oakland Auditorium

Went to upvote a tune and what do you know, it's controversial. Surprised this is #3 but it is awesome. Brent is great on his part of the jam, then we go into some kind of narco-dream that turns into a nightmare and then burns up into a perfect transition to He's Gone.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 11, 1979
Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall
