Playin' In The Band
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Nice locked in version. 13 minutes of what a Playin' should be.

Might As Well

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This show is often overlooked, but excellent on its own merits. Opens with a bang with a powerful Might As Well.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I really love this Supplication. It starts pretty chill and then catches fire.

It sounds as if they are going into Fire at end, but it just doesn't get there. Listen. Agree. Best show of the tour and top 5 for the year!
The Other One

Fillmore East

Best O1 of all time.

Soulful came to my mind before I even looked to post.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

This is a unique version and very good. I still like Tuscaloosa and Iowa better. 10/14/1994 at 33 mins was best recent one. After more listens, probably not in my top 10. Bob's slide ruins the Fire.
Mason's Children

2013 bonus disc. Aren't they all epic??? This version is hot, tho.
