University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

City Island

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 11, 1979
Billerica Forum

I saw that darkstar67. Who else? Apparently the local residents pronounce it Bill - ricka. I bet this would've been a great time.

This is really beautiful - all of the rio grandeo stuff. I heard this a while ago and forgot all about it until I saw it come up here last week. I finally listened to the SBD yesterday, but I saw that darkstar67 liked something that Charlie Miller had worked on and there was Bob Wagner's FOB. It's better to my ears than the SBD. (Just like that Jim Wise AUD from 5/1/81). When you hear the crowd react to Jerry, it isn't intrusive - the whole rio grandeo section crackles with the energy of a late Summer show opening up. It's perfect for this time of year.
Got My Mojo Working
April 4, 1985
Civic Center

I heard it. A little mojo flavored wink starts around 7:30, but what will be identifiable are some chords Bobby strikes right around 7:45. They're mojoish, but probably not enough to call this a mojo. The GDTRFB is a little too fast for me, and kind of typical of an area in which this era tended to go off the rails, but I love this jam that follows. I'd be interested to hear what others think.
Wharf Rat

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This wharf rat needs some help.
Eyes Of The World
Dec. 30, 1977
Winterland Arena

I think that this one is 1977 underrated (I said it), primarily as a result of the >jam section that necessarily gets assigned to this Eyes - but don't discount solos 1 or 2 - especially 2 where the extraordinary actually happens. This is Dick's Picks 10 and a nice B&W video is available on YT my friends.
