Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

There was nothing like a Terrapin in the Garden! Into drums-quick-weird-almost-Close Encounters-Spanish Jam-rip-roaring Truckin' in the Garden....

Should be higher!
Eyes Of The World
Nov. 5, 1977
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Absolutely gorgeous! Nearly as nice as the 11/4/77 Eyes at Colgate, with not quite the same outrageous sense of urgency as that one... And yep, into a savage Samson.....
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 11, 1989
Meadowlands Arena

Holy cow. Wonderful and unique all over the place. Powerful, too.
Eyes Of The World

Giants Stadium

Wow. Jerry goes a little bananas, as only he can, toward the end, after a beauty of a loping, grooving Eyes. Wow. Hearing this for the first time in a long time, not sure why it doesn't get more attention. Everything before space is spectacular, and it has a long, powerful first set.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

Epic.
