Mind Left Body Jam

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.

Comments

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

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

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.
