Jerry's voice is shot, but his tone is DIALED.

Technically Phil & Friends, but this is a nice (only?) acoustic version. Link: https://archive.org/details/1994-09-24.paf.sbd.zelner-vernon

Gets off to a rocky start, but Brent takes a nice solo.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Yeah, I don't think this is better than 02-05 by a long shot. Yes, the playing is as superior as you would expect from this time, and Jerry's "let it burn" lights up the band. But Bobby's thin sounding, out-of-tune slide practice mars an otherwise all-time version.
Dancin' in the Streets
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Goofy and amped up at the same time. Ending vocal jam is solid and interesting.
Viola Lee Blues
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

fantastic, great interplay during the solo. This whole show is phenomenal.

Winterland Arena

Jerry's on fire all night (and I'm a Garcia fanatic), but you're totally right, Phil makes this. The Pigpen/Garcia interplay is also pretty cool.
Cream Puff War

Winterland Arena

Rager, monster Garcia solos.
