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.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 11, 1979
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.

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall
I listened on the strength of freedomhaul's recommendation. This version is pristine, and an excellent example of the 1977 aesthetic that has had some on this site so irritated as of late. This one is perfect, if you like that kind of thing.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 19, 1976
Capitol Theatre
This is the opener, the radio transmission with video is available on YouTube and I am so happy to have found this one.
Jack Straw
June 4, 1978
Campus Stadium - University Of California
Charged up, yet balanced version that retains the sweet episodes but still hits Jack Straw from Wichita like a locomotive.
Sugaree
July 1, 1979
Seattle Center Coliseum
The third solo break is where this second set Sugaree finally gets good.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1981
Glens Falls Civic Center
Thanks for this Sharleena. This one is excellent, better than 6/18/83 for sure, even though it has less than half the votes.
