U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

New Minglewood Blues
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Brown Eyed Women
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

RFK Stadium

Nice encore to a stellar show...with Bruce taking us out on accordian!

Row Jimmy
Sept. 18, 1974
Parc des Expositions

^ agree with above: dreamy, trippy, luscious. my new favorite.
Ramble On Rose
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

Really surprised to find this so low. Bouncy, rockin' version that reminds me of those stellar '78 ones. Surprisingly great early 80s Jerry vocals.
Little Red Rooster
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Not a tune that usually elicits a vote from me, but this is good stuff. After one and a half listens (first one feeling a little disappointed) I think this show is starting to grow on me too.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

Majestic jamming. Easily the highlight of the show for me.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Finally got around to listening to this one. Really rockin' and high energy for sure; lots of fun and deserves to be celebrated, but to me there are a bunch of '78 and '83 versions that top it, along with that epic '79 one that is a hidden track on DP 13.
