Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

He's Gone
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Remarkable solo by Jerry
Feel Like A Stranger
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love it when they get lost at the end of a tune and aren't sure what to do. The bottom falls out and weird things happen. Also, is this the only Stranger -> He's Gone?
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Great version with one of the best outro jams to Supplication I've heard - Phil expanding on Jerry's ideas
Alabama Getaway
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Deceptively hot version. You don't realize how great it is till it's over. Jerry burns it up, Bobby and Phil also sound great. Nice aud recording
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 4, 1980
Baltimore Civic Center

Everyone shows up for this fantastic version. Love that fluttery thing Mickey plays in the jam. Great mood throughout
