Franklin's Tower

Reno Centennial Coliseum

One of the fastest Franklin's you'll ever hear....The speed and complexity of Jerry's solos have to be heard to be believed

Jerry's guitar must have nearly caught fire on this 11 minute plus, smoking hot version. This whole damn show is Amazing

Very high energy Desolation Row. Bobby might have hurt himself on this one.

Shoo enuff........@3:34 sounds like Bobby just about busted out. Good stuff, very heartfelt....Yeah....I can take a little rain.

Right on. Incredibly spacey. The second set of this show is ripe with nuggets.
Estimated Prophet
May 28, 1977
Hartford Civic Center

I've got a love/hate thing for Estimated. When it's on, it's a great time. When it's off it can stink like road kill. This version is all-the-way-on. Spacey, trippy, marshmellowy notes ooze from Jerry's axe as Estimated starts a run that follows with: Playin>Terrapin>NFA>Wharf>Playin> Un freakin' real show

Great pick. This one's a major contender. I never liked the Civic Center all that much but the boys sure did. It's hard to find fault with almost any Hartford show
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 14, 1984
Hartford Civic Center

This is the wrong date for the show and leads to a dead link (no pun intended) The Dead played Hartford on 1984-10-14 but no Scarlet Fire that show. The great Hartford Scarlet/Fire was from 1983-10-14 and a freaking Epic one it was.
