Its All Over Now
April 21, 1978
Rupp Arena

Hottest I've ever heard . . . Bobby's growling, Jerry's solo is inspired, huge crescendo . . . as good as the Faces' romp off their album

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nearly twenty minutes of He's Gone goodness -- jam goes into Drums then NFA but stays squarely in He's Gone territory with some very nice interplay.

Fox Theatre

A lot like the wild December 2 Casey, without the extra solo at the end. A fantastic, complete build-up. Keith goes nuts. Great energy!

Such a genuine rendition, really beautiful.
Stella Blue
July 18, 1976
Orpheum Theater

Listened to this again tonight -- part of an absolutely incredible 80 minute sequence that's the sweetest, dreamiest stuff I've ever heard the boys play. Some all-time Dead moments happen in this Stella -- totally out of this world.

So much in this show ... the Casey Jones and Dupree Diamond Blues, and this LIG are all superb.
