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.

Althea

Nassau Coliseum

I heard the senator on sirius last week and they played the track right after he talked to Bobby about the last solo. It's really good, as others have mentioned, probably worth an Althea vote.

Bertha
Dec. 29, 1977
Winterland Arena

Probably like everybody else, I've heard a million Berthas, so I listened because the reviews were so complimentary. The solo is hammered, an anomaly worthy of a high spot on the list.
Estimated Prophet

Baltimore Civic Center

I think this one comes closer to note perfect than all of the other '77 versions. I know there are those who like the song in different eras. For what this song was at this point in its history, this one has it.

Auditorium Theatre

Tremendous. There are some greats in June '76 and this one deserves a place in that conversation. I listened to Usborne's matrix which, as usual, sounded great. I'm feeling some 76 HSF right now darkstar - I'll check those three out.
