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.

Stella Blue
July 1, 1979
Seattle Center Coliseum

Horrible video with STELLA sound on YouTube.

Black Peter
May 15, 1981
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.

Comes A Time
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

I just got this in the mail and this was the first thing I cued up. I wholeheartedly endorse the thoughts of the other commenters. Listen quickly.
Wharf Rat
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

I first heard this in 1999 and it's been my favorite since then. It's all about Jerry in the pearly's been true section. I bet this one will get a bump from the July 78 box.
Terrapin Station
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

If you like this song, you should hear this one, if only for the fact that this is number 6. The aesthetic is sweet, but this is not the best one ever.
The Wheel
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

Yes, it's short - I cannot lie. It's also perfect in a number of respects and you'd better hope you get some gapless playback as it goes into the sixth terrapin ever - because that 20 seconds or so are some awesome (quiet) stuff.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

The start is sloppy and this is the second song of the spring 77 tour. But order is restored and everything else gets a little extra effort to make up for the missed verse. The pre and post rio grandeo guitar is unique - a recommended listen for those who like 77 half step.
