About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Not Fade Away

Where is the love? I have been on a 77-78 NFA thing for 6+ months and this is one of my go-to ones for a run in that while.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Springfield Civic Center Arena

All I’m looking for with this pair is Garcia’s guitar work on supplication. This is top 5 in that respect for me.

I don’t usually care for this song, but I do after I saw the video of this one. I don’t actually know that many of these but I do know that what Jerry did with this one was good.

5 years later, I revisited this one today. I’m glad to see that it’s picked up some steam. It’s not quite the equal of 5/1/81, but it is of 11/30/80 and it can hang with anything from 89-93, GD or JGB.
