Here’s 76 minutes of jamming from The Grateful Dead’s 1979 Halloween run at Nassau Coliseum (10/31 – 11/2). Jesse Jarnow pointed out these highlights to me, and also suggested that the “Eyes” and “Saint” might be cool as instrumentals. I didn't know that "Saint" had ever been a long-jam song!

All tracks are from 11/1, except “Eyes” (10/31) and “Saint” (11/2):
- Scarlet Begonias > (17:56)
- Fire on the Mountain (16:44)
- Jam (1:54)
- Playin’ Jam (13:32)
- Eyes of the World (instrumental edit) (11:33)
- Saint of Circumstance (instrumental edit) (14:46)
The “Scarlet > Fire” was released as a “hidden track” on “Dick’s Picks” #13, which otherwise featured a later Nassau show – 5/6/81. The two 1979 songs were attached to the ’81 “Saint of Circumstance,” forming a 45 minute track at the end of disc 2.
