Caution
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

This is a pretty intense early 80s-style Caution jam. I was surprised to find this just now.

The Music Never Stopped
Dec. 1, 1979
Stanley Theater

A unique beginning with nice peaks to both the mid jam and the outro.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Feb. 4, 1979
Dane County Coliseum

The final Keith and Donna Half Step stands up well, even though there's one lonely AUD.

Billerica Forum

An early Brent Mydland Half Step with electric piano pre rio grandeo and a joyful Garcia solo afterwards.

Sugaree
Oct. 18, 1978
Winterland Arena

No fanning or soaring peaks, but solo 3 (7:45-12:45 on CM's SBD) is a new favorite - sublime, mellow, laid back.

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.

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.
