Bobby tells us "it''s time for your Sunday sermon" but it's Brent that's all over this smoking version.

Not on Archive but one hell of a barnburner. Check Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmN0mFHDH2w

Following a rare St Stephen, they're pulling out all the stops in an explosively cacophonous mid jam

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

Worcester Centrum

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.

The Omni

Absolutely one of the headiest. This belongs in the top 5 for sure. Great effort all around.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

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.
