Man does this version have a good bounce to it. I would put this version up against any version from the 80's.

This version doesn't quit. Jerry's solo is relentless

Check out the really groovy pre-drums jam that comes out of this UJB.

Great swing to this version. Excellent Brent and Jerry solos. A gem of a show from an odd tour.

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

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.

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