A crisp version with a PITB jam outro before Wharf Rat.

Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

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

Mountain Jam

Fillmore West

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.

Let It Grow
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

This one is smoked. The next song is what I consider the #1 Deal. Hard to find a better pair to close a set 1.

He's Gone

Swing Auditorium

This one, with feeling, for John Lennon. The SBD is sterile, but Dave Usborne's matrix brings everything in this heartfelt version to life. A nice way to mourn another anniversary.
Stir It Up
March 21, 1991
Capital Centre

This is great. I went and looked at the '88 one before I watched this one and there is no comparison and not just because of Bob's singing in the Hampton version, though that doesn't help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iFiPMCYl0Q
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry cannot remember the words of half step and solos through a couple of verses. Its nice to hear Jerry play over the verses. And you can tell Jerry's trying to make up for missing the lyrics before and after rio grandeo. There are a bunch of 77 half steps up near the top and this one deserves a look in spite of this one almost being instrumental.
