Box of Rain

Three Rivers Stadium

The almost famous and last "rain show". It follows Rain in the 2nd set. Phil is great and Jerry is locked in for this one.

This version has a surprisingly great jam at the end. Jerry really works the fretboard throughout it. This is from a show where I think the 1st set is actually a little better than the second set.
Playin' In The Band

The Spectrum

The Terrapin > Playin' is the meat of the second set in this show. 1979 is an underrated year for sure. There is no doubt the addition of Brent really lit a fire in the rest of the band. This Playin' is a prime example of that.

I see that this has been mentioned in the comments, but it does almost segue into Morning Dew. Jerry hits that first note of Dew when the segue begins but Bobby is strumming on to El Paso. Basically Bobby just keeps that going and very quickly the band follows along. I love the show and El Paso is great for sure. However I can only imagine what that Dew would have been like following that Dark Star at that show. Supernova...that is my guess
