Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

Brother Esau

Hartford Civic Center

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

An intense, raucous version. Great vox by Bobby

West High Auditorium

Jerry really burns on this one. Surprised it's not yet posted

Space

Civic Center

Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival

Estimated Prophet

Market Square Arena

Agreed, this is a remarkable transition into Eyes. Listen to what Bobby plays.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.

New Haven Coliseum

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
Casey Jones
Jan. 15, 1979
Springfield Civic Center

Great vocals and solo
