The "middle solo" in this version is just stunningly climactic!

Jerry's solo builds fantasticly to a huge melodic power peak. One of the best Jerry solos I've ever heard on this song BY FAR.

Roars like a freight train; Jerry is just ripping up the fretboard! My favorite of '78 so far...

WOW. If you dig the legendary 1/22/78 St. Steve jam, you must hear this. NOW. This one might be even better. One of my favorite post-hiatus versions!!

WOW!!! You're not kidding. Next to 9/2/78 and 11/30/80, this Scar>Fire has one of the all time best, super smooth, out-of-this -world transitions I've ever heard. And the Fire ROCKS! Nice call, man!!

Very nice version. The transition into drums is especially well played.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Absolutely my new number one!! Jerry CRUSHES IT!!!!!!!!
The Other One

International Amphitheatre

Great version with a nice Phil solo and lots of peaks and valleys. Psychedelic rock at its best.
Eyes Of The World

Frost Amphitheatre

A very beautiful and patient Eyes, unique in the fact that it's not speed-laced like most '80s versions. Must hear material from a great show.
