Probably my favorite '86 show and 2nd hottest song of the night behind killer Straw to end set 1

Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

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.
