Holy crap....how did I miss this show? Beautiful, soaring version from a very "on" night for Jer and the boys

I don't believe this one's not represented!! 22 minutes long, Brent's first, Jerry's jammin at warp speed....slowing into powerful drums

Maybe not "greatest" but an interesting discordant sort of jam makes this early version worth a listen

Gorgeous! Proof that some truly epic versions are lurking near the bottom of some of these lists.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This is a seriously rocking Scarlet>Fire. Especially the Fire......Very Hot! Love the little Happy Birthday noodle in honor of Brent's B-day. Needs to be kicked up WAY higher in the rankings.

Absolutely one of the headiest. This belongs in the top 5 for sure. Great effort all around.

Musta been some kick ass Kool aid downed before this super fun show. I love the roar Bobby lets out that gets Donna cracking up. Totally unprofessional, completely unpolished, rollicking Grateful Dead at their mischievous best. It's a beautiful thing.

Buried treasure! Big highlight is an understatement.........This is a HUGE Sugaree.
