This one has guts and a real slow percussive groove. Love it.

Ends a wonderful sequence (Terrapin -> Playin' -> Drums-> Lost Sailor-> Saint-> Wharf Rat) Jerry's definitely still feeling it in his solos; solid

Slow and stoney, great show and crystal-clear board to boot

Keith and Donna really shine here -- soft, beautiful playing by Jerry, great Bob vocals, excellent version from an underrated, killer show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Not my cup of tea but it's nice to see so much love. Creates a talking-point. Could it be the A+ board? If so, what d'ya think of the combo from 4-8-78, also A+ . . .

The interplay in the transition left me speechless -- totally transporting. Great version!

Memorial Coliseum

Great transition; very, very good Scarlet. Ethereal. Fire reaches some hot climaxes. You may know this Fire as the "duck-quacking" Fire. Listen to it and you'll know why!
