Aug. 21, 1968

About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Mountain Jam

Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Sugaree
May 9, 1979
Broome County Arena

The third solo is intense, and ends with a flurry. The whole version is good - a nice, expansive opener of a Sugaree. Some others of this era that are above on this list open their shows as well - 10/17/83, 6/21/80 and 12/28/79
The Other One
May 13, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

This one is such a rich exploration. I was surprised.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 2, 1981
The Spectrum

There are a couple of blown lyrics in Scarlet, and one right before the transition begins, and that usually means Jerry will try to make up for it. I love Bob at the beginning of the transition, and that whole 7 min or so is spectacular and Jerry does work hard. Fire’s great too. I’ve loved finds like this over the years on this site, and I’ll be with this one for a while.
Space
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

It’s called Phil and Ned on the linked source and it’s pretty weird man, as all the seastones stuff from 74 is. Any difference with space is semantic. Aliens have landed and are broadcasting AM radio.
Playin' In The Band
May 4, 1977
The Palladium

The whole reprise after comes a time is fantastic. What an end to a show.
