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

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.

Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

Inasmuch as this is a cocaine-fueled Franklin's, it's at least in the top 5 for the hyperspeed versions. I think top 10 for the stand alone variety as well. It's shortish (10 min.), but it gets to the point in a way that Cape Cod doesn't and there is all this virtuoso playing.

By the time they get to Franklin's Tower, they're cooking. Jerry is really aggressive - from the first note on.

The section before rio grandeo is delicate and resplendent.
