A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

Lyrics are flubbed but that final solo has some hot licks.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

The Supplication is great! Jerry really shreds it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This version from the Dave's Picks vol. 31 barely registers on the list. As said above it's a nice chill listen with some good groove to it. I can easily see why this version gets lost in the realm of the other great ones from '79 though.

This version is near perfect. Both Jerry and Brent have excellent solos and the band is melding quite well.

A nice version of Terrapin. It's the pre-drums jam that makes this one worth the listen.
