Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Knickerbocker Arena

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

Nassau Coliseum

Not my favorite song, but there's something pretty special about this crisp and confident version. Nice!

Memorial Coliseum

Just incredible. This very creative, spontaneous version has any energy of its own.
New Minglewood Blues

Memorial Coliseum

Feisty version from a feisty show. Tuscaloosa is the fall '77-type show of spring '77.

Great jamming in the outro, and a lot of fire in the song proper. Terrific second set opener.
