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

Love Jerry's tone in this version. Sooo smooth.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Memorial Coliseum

Great scorching version! Nice mid 2nd set energy build combo with Bertha and played after a superb Stella Blue. Nice little discovery due to the Pacific Northwest boxset.
Bird Song

The Scope

The jam on this version is really excellent. I'd call this a hidden gem. This whole show smokes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 3, 1982
The Scope

The jam between Scarlet and FOTM is very unique, makes this version a must hear.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 12, 1980
Memorial Coliseum

Great Scarlet, but the rails seem to come off the tracks during FOTM. Jerry and the band seem lost in this one. Plenty of missed lyrics and vocal flubs abound. Jerry pulls it together towards the end during the final guitar solo. . .somewhat.
