An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

New Minglewood Blues
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

This one is justifiably high as I see it. Like most of us, I imagine, I've heard a million minglewoods. But this one stood out to me. Jerry Garcia is shredding.

I like it. There are some differences in the way the song is presented. For example, it's in the first set and it's not a big vehicle for improvisation - they return to the original theme to close the song out at about 7 minutes. If you like May 77 EPs - and the abundance of those versions in the EP top ten says that many do, you should hear this one as well.
They Love Each Other

Swing Auditorium

This is not my favorite song, but deadheadben commented on this recently and it reminded me of this show. I decided to listen to the two feb 77 shows again and TLEO is three songs into those two nights. This one deserves some hype for a few things: Jerry's solo, the band's unity and the sound quality.

The whole final movement of the set is so very mellow.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

This is fast bluegrass rock and roll, the first of a big trio to finish the show after Stella Blue. The band was great at this time and, like hvd said earlier, there are high quality sound options available. Turn this up loud. You'll be soaring around the five minute mark. It's a weird weather Christmas Day here. I imagine that this version would be awesome driving around on a summer day with the windows down.
