Grate Pick! Heavy Duty LIG in a rockin' Berkley show that begs for the matrix treatment.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

This has been one of my pocket shows for years. Great S>F and the Hunter-Seamons matrix really makes it shine. Whenever I see Hunter's name in "other copies", that's the show I'm grabbing or replacing. He's got a FB page where he releases new matrix recordings: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulDeadTrix?fref=ts
