Caution

Boston Garden

This is a pretty intense early 80s-style Caution jam. I was surprised to find this just now.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 1, 1979
Stanley Theater

A unique beginning with nice peaks to both the mid jam and the outro.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Dane County Coliseum

The final Keith and Donna Half Step stands up well, even though there's one lonely AUD.

An early Brent Mydland Half Step with electric piano pre rio grandeo and a joyful Garcia solo afterwards.

Sugaree
Oct. 18, 1978
Winterland Arena

No fanning or soaring peaks, but solo 3 (7:45-12:45 on CM's SBD) is a new favorite - sublime, mellow, laid back.

Friend of the Devil
Dec. 30, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Very nice. Bob takes a rare solo in between Brent and Jerry.
Sugaree
March 28, 1981
Grugahalle

I think this is top 10 and the video certainly helps to make that case. It's hard to watch the second solo and say otherwise. If, on the other hand, videos existed of, say 12/28/79 and a bunch of others, we would have a different landscape to be sure.
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I like the matrix for this one. The reverb of the AUD makes the dreamy intro even dreamier.

Grand Prix Racecourse

Filthy. I don’t hear fotm or franklins. I just hear the good stuff.

The Scope

My favorite hour of music: S>F>Est>Eyes. Not a letdown in this one with this seaweed source.
