The Sportatorium

Brent lends the transition jam a relaxed fusion vibe. Dreamlike, but doesn't lose precision.

Hot and tight. Amazing show overall.

Brent on the Hammond will send chills down your spine.

Academy of Music

Dick's Picks 30. Band is about to leave for Europe and gives a preview of the tour's signature jam style. Astonishing.

Theatre Hall

A thing of beauty like all the big jams from this tour, this one's every bit as moody and introspective as freaky and paranoid.

Dancin' in the Streets
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Very jammy. Quite conceivably what an early ’78 Dark Star might have sounded like.
St. Stephen

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

This had me cranking the volume. Excellent jamming. Also give 1/11/78 a try.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 7, 1981
Des Moines Civic Center

I’m not sure I hear it as Supplication, but the jam out of Saint into Drums is indeed excellent.
Space
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I dispute GDM’s labeling of this as Space — ’77-’78 had a lot of solo Garcia moments, just like Phil was prone to stepping out in ’72-’73 or Bob/Brent before drums in the early ’80s — but it’s a magnificent moment.
Uncle John's Band
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

What a mood this second set finds itself in. The UJB jam melting into that solo Garcia meditation is the purest distillation.
