He's Gone
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

A solid version with a passage about a minute long straight out of the heavens - directly following the a capella section. Must hear.

Stella Blue
July 1, 1979
Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

The first solo is sweet and beautiful. The outro is short, bluesy shredding.

Eyes Of The World
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

The well played end to a S>F>E>E combination. Jerry plays with a theme recognizable from the eyes on DP6.

Uncle John's Band
May 26, 1977
Baltimore Civic Center

The encore of the penultimate show of May 1977. It's short, but these people are practiced at this date.

New Orleans
June 21, 1984
Kingswood Music Theater

I loved this short one. Bob really goes after it and you are right, the groove is infectious right from the start.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 27, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I can't find a CM source for this one cucamonga. I've been listening to the darst sbd which has two patches during the rio grandeo section that are a bit of a letdown. But the solos during the halfstep portion - particularly the first one - are played much harder than say any of the '77s. The first solo is something else.
Franklin's Tower
Dec. 27, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This is my version right now. Crisp and clear, but loud and almost violent at times.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 6, 1977
Activity Center. Arizona State U

This probably should be one of the top versions of this song on here, but it's kind of hidden away by the weird transmission problem that Grendel is talking about. It's a nice find.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
May 25, 1974
Campus Stadium, UCSB

It's a rapid Feelin' Groovy and the burn on Mexicalis and MAMUs is warranted.
