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.

Winterland Arena

This one really shines on the seamons matrix. A really solid version that needs to be heard by all. Should be ranked much much higher.
Eyes Of The World

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Nice extended late era version of Eyes. Love the acoustic jamming in this one.
Victim Or The Crime

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

Cool drum intro with some nice improv at the end. Gets real psychedelic and intense with an ok segue into Eyes.
So Many Roads

The beginning is rough as the band seems to forget how to play it. Jerry stumbles through the lyrics as well but he does find his way through some decent solos. It finishes some what strong but there are better versions to seek out then this one.
