Always a rockin' opener. What a terrific, under-the-radar show.

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Civic Auditorium

One of my favorite years for Scarlet/Fire. Great Scarlet, weird/mellow transition jam. Love Brent's reverby, spacey electric keys.

Agreed. Jerry's guitar, Phil's bass, really rockin' version.
