One of the best versions I've ever heard, even with the not-so-great AUD.

Dig into this nice first set "Estimated." Phil joins in on riffing on the main riff, which I’ve not heard before on this tour. Nice solo.

Lovely playing and singing from Jerry, and Keith is all over this first set.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1994
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Honestly wasn't expecting much from this version, but heard about it somewhere and decided to check it out. Short "Scarlet," the highlight (for me) was the acoustic guitar sound Garcia. "Fire" is nice and bouncy. Worth a listen.

Winterland Arena

There is some really great playing here from every member separately and together. Agree about lyrics (Jerry blowing both lyrics and the guitar part in the preceding "Dark Star"—he also sounded *super* high when he was singing, so...). Still a great version, and the show is justly famous for many reasons.

This is *really* great. Fantastic find! The entire band plays as one this whole time.

It's got my vote too. Gotta go through the rest of this show later!

Great version! I'd have to really think before I could think of a headier one!!
