Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

The Summit

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

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

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.

Uptown Theater

Intense, dynamic version. Goes to a lot of unexpected places.
Eyes Of The World
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River
Jan. 15, 1978
Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.
Jack Straw
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
