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.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter

Rutgers Athletic Center

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

Eyes Of The World

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.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 4, 1977
The Forum

Yes this is smoky from top to bottom.
Caution
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that many of you might do well to spark one up before you hear this.
He's Gone
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

The last five minutes of this version are amazing and the last minute or so before the transition to Caution is uniquely beautiful.
Let It Grow
April 13, 1986
Irvine Meadows

The transition from supplication is smooth and Jerry's playing is clear and strong.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Great scarlet solo and a really sweet transition. I like the fire better than klaus smith does even though something apparently goes wrong with jerry's rig for a moment before the first verse. This is a nice one -from the same batch as DP6 - but definitely stands up well on its own.
