Worth a mention. It has a good pace, and nice soloing.

Lovely version, the crowd is engaged, and Jerry delivers a perfectly patient sweet solo to end it.

Spanish Jam

Irvine Meadows

Sweet version out of space, flows to a short but fiery TOO. This shines in the recently liberated Knudsen soundboard.
Playin' In The Band

Recreation Hall - University of California

They way this one takes off into the jam portion gives it an almost '73 - '74ish feel . Cool segue into Scarlet.
Drums -> Space

Recreation Hall - University of California

The Space is pretty cool. Contains a Happy Birthday jam.

The Scope

What's cool about this version is that the Estimated > Eyes segue is very very similar to the Scarlet > Fire segue that opened the set. Both very unique must listen to jams.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 17, 1982
Warfield Theater

This version holds up against any of the great versions from '82. Scarlet has a nice groove to it with a syrupy sweet segue to FOTM. Lots of funky staccato plunking. I'd take this one over the Manor Downs version.
