About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Mountain Jam

Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Crazy Fingers

Paramount Theatre

The beginning to this version is stellar. The whole version is good, but this one and 6/17/75 have great openings.
Pretty Peggy O
April 19, 1978
Veterans Memorial Auditorium

This one is a standard April 1978 vintage, so it actually stacks up well against any version of PeggyO from any era. Way better than 3 votes, especially given that 4/16 is only 3 days prior.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 12, 1977
Auditorium Theatre

Yes, this is top 10. Every version from 4/30-6/9, with 9/3 and the early November shows. This one cranks. I’d put 4/15/78 in the discussion too
Playin' In The Band
May 19, 1977
Fox Theatre

Reprise is where it’s at
Pretty Peggy O
June 12, 1980
Memorial Coliseum

This is great with a sweet solo.
