Scarlet Begonias
Fun and enthusiastic, if not just a little loose in the joints. Good energy and a great show all around.

Sugaree
Fall '76 is a great buildup period for this song before they take it through the stratosphere in '77

Around and Around
Jerry goes balls out at the end and pulls it off. Huge dynamic range. They really started to open up this song at the end in ‘76.

El Paso
Phil rips this one wide open with a brilliant countersolo to Jerry's brilliancies and whirlygigs. Strong version here.

Wharf Rat
Remarkable part of one of the rare hour + extended jams, great transitions in and out of it and a heartfelt beauty on its own.
