Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Mountain Jam
Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam
Dec. 12, 1980
Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The Spectrum

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Not the greatest ever or anything, but check out that liquid transition from TOO.
St. Stephen
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is the end of an era. It's not my favorite song, but this one is great and it doesn't sound this good when it returns.
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

"The jazzy-spacey mid section jam," as deadhoe69 says, is killer on this version. It's hard to see what this one is missing except the SBD. There's something for everybody.
Row Jimmy
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

This is my go to row jimmy. Admittedly, this is one of the 6 disks stuck in the time machine car/cd player I spin around in. But the double time at the end is stellar - this was a great road trip.

To some this is not a real DS, but I gotta say this is gorgeous - no paralysis or bugs crawling, just beautiful flow.
