Winterland Arena

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

Eyes Of The World

MacArthur Court, U of Oregon

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.

Darkness Jam
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This was a great get, darkstar. I remember when you found this one, however long ago that was. At any rate, I had listened to this NFA, loved the version and never would have thought Darkness given how out of ordinary it was at this end of the seventies. He's a listener, children!
Wharf Rat
Aug. 2, 1976
Colt Park

Btw, this jam at the end of wharf rat is one of two extemporaneous jams in this show (might as well has one too). ’76 has a bunch of these jams, well collected in this article at deadessays: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-1976-out-of-nowhere-jams.html?m=1cted
Wharf Rat

Colt Park

You think you'll be able to make it to the New Year's show by next week, carrion crow? That fall tour is dense and I see that there are more than a dozen shows left. Whatever happens, you're doing yeoman's work. Any ideas on next year?
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Oct. 14, 1977
Hofheinz Pavilion

This one is decent and can hang with the spring 77s, but it doesn’t match the others from the fall of 77: 9/3, 11/5 and 11/6, stuck in between them though it is. There was another fall half step that year on 10/7, but the tape of that portion of the show is nowhere to be found. Tantalizing.
Caution
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

This guy's house is burning down, and he's out on a limb defending an early Brent Caution? It's good. And this show is a peak of a peak, so to speak. It's a nice call. Check out 5/12/80 - it's of the Bobby Sands Caution variety.
