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

Spanish Jam

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.
