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.

Stella Blue
July 1, 1979
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

Robertson Gym, UC Santa Barbara

Then vote for it, Batman. This one has had 5 votes for a year. I guess no one listens to this one because it's an A- AUD and the previous night's SBD gets all the attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

I looked on setlist this AM and this was the only halfstep I could find that was ever played in Mississippi.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

This one is beautiful - nice call. I know those '78 Jeds from TN, but I'm delighted to find this Halfstep from MS from the same year. Keith and Jerry play along with one another well during the Rio Grandeo sections.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This supplication is smoked. It shuffled up at the beginning of a run today and I got all fired up. I don't see how it can be played any much harder than this. I know that there are dozens of great ones out there - for the life of the pair and even some nice supplications post coma - but this one belongs at or near the top.
Positively 4th Street
Oct. 31, 1975
Tower Theater

I didn't listen to the 4th street, but I did go to the link and listened to both Masterpieces and the early Tough Mama - and that compilation is really good - you can tell that the compiler listened to a bunch.
