Kansas City
"For those of you who were watching TV last night" KC won the World Series. I guess I wasn't the only one.

Brother Esau
Complete with kickin' cow bell, nice long intro, easily one of the best you'll find.

Row Jimmy
Great cadence to this one and some cool reverb effects lend a trippy mesmerizing feel to this fine entry from the Fox. Get the CM SBD source.

Stagger Lee
A Healy masterpeice the sbd is art and quickly widespread. Garcia nails every verse with vengeance screams of passion matched by his poetic solo. WOW!

Scarlet Begonias
Confident stand alone set 2 opener. Loads of Brent and Phil. Phil leads the boys nicely into touch of grey.

Ramble On Rose
Garcia and his fretboard are truly one with vocal rage taboot. I find this to be a favorite 80s first set of mine.

Sugaree
Great long slow building version to open a nearly perfect set. Surprised nobody has mentioned this one before

Promised Land
Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version
