Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

Brent contributes a lot to this brief, beautiful, disturbing Space.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

Pauley Pavilion

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version
The Music Never Stopped

Fox Theatre

Great version. The jam tells the story right.
Shakedown Street
Dec. 13, 1978
Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.
