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.

Stella Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

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

Eyes Of The World
May 15, 1981
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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

There is a Mountain Jam tease in the transition and that only plays a bit part in what makes this pair so good.
Deal
May 1, 1981
Hampton Coliseum

The first solo is crisp and lightning fast, but the second one is a religious experience. This Deal is dangerously underrated - I urge you not to give into to the squirrel-headed demagoguery of the versions in front of this masterpiece.
Brown Eyed Women
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

This show is great - and this BEW is a great recommendation. Jerry's solo is great, but made better by the solo that Brent is basically playing at the same time. Top 20.
Candyman
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nothing. This is excellent.
