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

Gorgeous! Proof that some truly epic versions are lurking near the bottom of some of these lists.

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.

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.
