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

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.

Zoinks is right. I've been meaning to sing the praises of this version for a while. Might as well pile it on.

This one should be on here. I was blown away the first time I heard it. Nothing floating about this one - it's all muscle.

I'll put the link to mine on this page when I finish. Have you ever been to deadessays.blogspot, Carrion Crow? There's some Phd level stuff there.

I set it up similar to Sharleena - who posted a google sheet of a scarlet fire project while back. There are eight sections to every half step and I've been ranking each section from A+ to C- and then taking an average. I'm also partial to the last three rio grandeo sections, so I weight them all twice as much. There are 19 '77 half-steps, and one is missing from the archive (10/7), so it's not even close to sharleena's project in scope. It's nerd paradise really.

I'm doing one of Sharleena's spreadsheets with the 77 halfsteps. What's your project going to be darkstar67? Dark star? Are you done S>F, Sharleena? Ready to take on Sugaree?
