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.

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.

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.
