A sprawling and celebratory 2nd set opener to a fantastic under the radar show from 1987

Under the radar version from St. Patrick's Day '88. Really loose and shreddy, nice segue into Eyes

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 1, 1987
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Scarlet includes a fiery and energetic segue into FOTM, that gives way to even more fiery'er shredding. Good preview of what was to come in the great year of '87 Dead.

I like the way this version echos throughout the venue creating beautiful soundscapes.
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

This may be my new favorite version. Love the flow of this one. It has that extra little bounce that '77 versions seem to have.
Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

This version is not the best ever. Not sure if it's the technical difficulties or what but they don't even seem sure how to end the song at this point.
Brokedown Palace

Nassau Coliseum

Worth the listen just for the highlarious fuck up in the beginning.
