Coming back to the site after 5 years to submit this gem of a bucket. HOT!

New Minglewood Blues
July 12, 1989
RFK Stadium

Brent scats and Jerry's solos are absolutely blazing...real nice sleeper here!

Bird Song
Dec. 6, 1980
Mill Valley Recreation Center

This acoustic version is very relaxed due to the intimate setting. Not too jammed out but something about it is very soothing

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

This set is an emotional roller coaster, and this Goin' Down the Road is a sweet way to continue it. Keith shines, as he does all show.

Dark Star
Dec. 26, 1969
McFarlin Auditorium, SMU

A little sloppy, but has a really excellent Tighten Up jam.

Electric Factory

The post-drums jam on this is nuts, with a particularly energetic "And We Bid You Goodnight" coda. I always forget how dynamic these 68-69 jams are; every 2 or 3 minute segment of this sounds totally different.
Eyes Of The World
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

^ very well said. As if this set wasn't unique enough, this Eyes morphs into yet another gorgeous improv session and segues smoothly back into TOO.
Comes A Time
July 17, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

The closing jam sounds like it could be another thematic jam from the early 70s (i.e. Tighten Up) and is equally beautiful.
Mind Left Body Jam
April 17, 1975
Ace's Studio

labeled "Mind Left Body thing" on this archive link: https://archive.org/details/gd1975-04-17.122863.flacf
Row Jimmy
Feb. 4, 1978
Milwaukee Auditorium

SBD out now from 30 days 2014. What a run of shows - 1977-8 saw arguably the best Jimmys and this one doesn't disappoint
