I am always on the search for top notch Cassidys' and this one really checks all the right boxes. The mid song jam is en fuego

Tight and focused, only 8 minutes but for 8 minutes it covers a lot of ground.

Tender and sorrowful. Jerry hits all the right notes.

Lyrics are flubbed but that final solo has some hot licks.

The Supplication is great! Jerry really shreds it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

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.

Deer Creek Music Theater

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