Mind Left Body Jam
Oct. 18, 1978
Winterland Arena

An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

Eyes Of The World

MacArthur Court, U of Oregon

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

Winterland Arena

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 17, 1978
Winterland Arena

I don’t have much to add to what grendel says. The Fire is loud, clear, confident and I also prefer the matrix to the sbd which lacks the warmth that you get with the matrix without sacrificing clarity. An all time Fire.

Rupp Arena

This one is for real. Great solos, bob on slide is doable, and I would check any other boxes too
Crazy Fingers
Oct. 8, 1983
Richmond Coliseum

Jerry’s playing is sharp and clear, and he is clearly into it. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
Deal
Oct. 8, 1983
Richmond Coliseum

Great energy between Jerry and Brent once the outro gets going. This is a good version from the early 80s which for some reason is often overshadowed by 89-93 Deals. This is every bit as good and I like the October 83 sound here and elsewhere.
