Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
A monster show and a monster Scarlet->Fire... the intro into Fire is to die for

Brother Esau
What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85
2
Dancin' in the Streets
Dead at the Shed and a revved up show opener of Dancin' makes for a killer show

Dear Mr. Fantasy
out of Space..Jerry just starts playing the intro, nice power chord from Weir too

Playin' In The Band
Brain Melting, nice example of a certain quality to Jerry's playing in the 80's that I love
5
Uncle John's Band
Extremely passionate, if compact version. JG's leads are especilly determined during the jams.

Good Lovin'
This is maybe the best Weir version. Perfectly executed...well jammed and great Bob rap...."Push back, push back the night." Epic version.
5
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Kicks ass for '85...Bobby fuzzed out behind Jerry's piercing the acid bubble. Saw this and forgot how good it was...happens hahahah

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Capper on a double encore - whole show crushes and this Baby Blue is SUPERKIND.

Satisfaction
The last MWP show, a cranking, heavy-duty Satisfaction as the first song of a double encore
