Little ragged vocally, but a beautiful end to a wide-ranging and justly famous show.

One of the first bits of Dead I ever heard.

Solidly played, beautiful cacophony at the end as the band varies the outro themes.

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.
Cold Rain and Snow
March 18, 1967
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
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

Rager, monster Garcia solos.
