Very mellow cowboy ballad, like the great Nov. 8th '70 above. Check 'er out. They were experimenting with it here.

Beautiful acoustic version. The whole first set is one exquisite jewel after another.

After some rowdy banter the good old GD pull out a magical beauty here. Acoustic fans shouldn't overlook this one!

Pretty unknown show, but this FoTD is just perfect. Some sound issues around the edges, but here Jer's voice is angelic and sweet.

Fillmore East

One of the under-appreciated masterpieces of the Dead canon, this one stretches out nicely. Mellow, but adventurous. Love this one.

Sweet and delicate with beautiful orchestration towards the climax. Donna and Jerry sound glorious in the outro.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Huntington Civic Center

They get a slow start and Jerry flubs the lyrics in the Scarlet, but he more than makes up for it by going for the deep dive in the Scarlet jam before transitioning towards the Fire. The Betty Board is sublime, like everyone here sez.

Not a year that I'm very familiar with. I came to this show for the Dire Wolf, but it was this Peggy-O and that brilliant solo that spun me around. Very nice indeed.

Happy to blow your mind Aush. I dig your avatar.

Perfect description. Now I'm a big fan of the one-drummer era, but I'm a deadhead from the Brent years and there are songs that are just gonzo-delicious for Bill and Mickey together. This is definitely a hot version and worth more than the 2 votes it has here.
