He's Gone
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

A solid version with a passage about a minute long straight out of the heavens - directly following the a capella section. Must hear.

Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

The first solo is sweet and beautiful. The outro is short, bluesy shredding.

Eyes Of The World
May 15, 1981
Rutgers Athletic Center

The well played end to a S>F>E>E combination. Jerry plays with a theme recognizable from the eyes on DP6.

Uncle John's Band
May 26, 1977
Baltimore Civic Center

The encore of the penultimate show of May 1977. It's short, but these people are practiced at this date.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

This Fire is fantastic. Aggressive, psychedelic playing by Keith, whatever it is that he is playing, and the solo that Jerry takes after the first chorus is great, bottom to top.
Pretty Peggy O
Nov. 13, 1978
Music Hall

This is beautiful. Jerry and the crowd get worked up at the same time on this warm audience recording. I bet this one would be good in its own way if there were a SBD, but the linked source would still be worth hearing from time to time.
The Music Never Stopped
May 2, 1980
Hampton Coliseum

A little out of control and kind of violent at times. They really go after this one in both the midsection and the outro.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

This is definitely a great. I love the actual beginning of the jam, funky spacey stuff, but 8:00-9:45 is an amazing Jerry and Bob dialogue and what follows is a glorious snapshot of a moment in time.
Franklin's Tower
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

Crystal clear and sweet, then a fiery Bob and Jerry finish. As a standalone, or even as a halfstep>franklin's this one is better than 5 votes.
