Caution
May 12, 1980
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
Feb. 4, 1979
Dane County Coliseum

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

Billerica Forum

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.

New Orleans

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.
