Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 21, 1978
The Summit

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

The Summit

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

New Minglewood Blues
Dec. 17, 1978
Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Terrapin Station
Dec. 15, 1978
Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

Dig the Foolish Heart jam on this one. You heard me right
Playin' In The Band

The jam charges into dark, weird territory
Bird Song

Rosemont Horizon

Jerry is wide awake in this jam. The way he starts it is exceptional.
Bird Song
April 14, 1984
Hampton Coliseum

There is no Bird Song in this show
Space

Hampton Coliseum

The space into So What is great. The one after drums is even better. Jerry and Bobby get into something.
