Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

Damn! Unhealthy JG really kicks ass sometimes! Excellent bouncy >, Jer sings along in 'laid down last night.' verse - Rider is simply out for blood!

There's just a litte cheesy chriping synth...outside of that this Bird is jumpy,agressive, and probably cracked my top 5

Looks Like Rain

Jerry plays the most beautiful licks throughout this ending
Jack Straw
Oct. 17, 1978
Winterland Arena

I give this one a slight edge over 10/22 because the first time I ever heard this Jack Straw was the first time I realized how bad ass the song can get
Sugar Magnolia

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

cgarces is right about this one trust me
Sugar Magnolia
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Jerry goes full pop-rock -not much noodling, mostly repetitive riffing...same style utilized in Jack Straw, OMSN and US Blues from this show and I love it. Hard rock Garcia is bad ass!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 18, 1978
Uptown Theatre

Jerry shows off how quick he can hit notes during Scarlet mid song jam and pretty exiting stuff during > into a short but exciting Fire featuring a little high energy Jer fanning at the end.
