Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

Jerry is flying and Bobby is along for the ride.

Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.
Pretty Peggy O

New Haven Coliseum

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
Casey Jones
