Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Baby
Feb. 18, 1985
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Murky, muddy, prowling blues crawls from an eerie China Doll.
He's Gone

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Exactly. After a high energy first set, this has a totally insane coda of roaring, chanting madness.... followed by an eerie Spoonful and a surging, mellow Eyes (with a crazy Weird segue out of Spoonful) where the energy picks back up strong as they tumble into a rip roaring GDTRFB, with a nice jam into Drums.... after Space, an even eerier China Doll drifts into a very rare Baby What you Want from Brent!
Franklin's Tower
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

One of the best stand alone Franklins (out of amazing Estimated) and it goes into a rocking, flowing, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous jam. On the tail end of Dave's 31 extras, this whole show is excellent, as I recall...
Blow Away
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

So crazy. My buddy says he was there. Climbed a pole behind Jerry. Might have taken some of his clothes off. IDK. Says the highlight was Kesey on kazoo. Says it was a pretty hot show overall.
Blues For Allah
March 23, 1975
Kezar Stadium

The whole shebang is amazing ridiculousness. One of their greatest moments.
