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.

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.

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.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
