A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

I'll need to give this one a few more listens I think. I found it to be quite boring. Not as good as the PITB that was played in Vancouver a few days prior.

Love Jerry's tone in this version. Sooo smooth.

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.

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

The Scope

The jam between Scarlet and FOTM is very unique, makes this version a must hear.
