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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 14, 1981
Hartford Civic Center

I like several at the top of this list, but this has been my go to china rider for the last six months. This one is crystal clear, with Jerry playing loud and out in front, even though it's an AUD. It's one of the clearer audience recordings I know.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

I see that there were only 10 half steps in 1979. This one is not as good as its cousin 10/28 (which is cerebral, 13 and a half minutes and sounds like the summer), but there's a pretty nice peak after rio grandeo.

Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

I totally agree. I saw what excess said, knew what that meant and went straight to it. An awesome meandering summertime on either side of rio grandeo. Too bad the original recommendation was mute on the sweet ethereal jams herein.

William and Mary College Hall

This was great - Garcia tears it up throughout and then eats his guitar post rio grandeo.
Sugaree

Springfield Civic Center

The second and third solos are off the hook. If you can handle some '85 roughness, this one brings heat.
