Powerful Truckin' opener. Start to another one of those slinky 85 combos -- Truckin'>SS>High Time

I used to love 'bama openers. I think the Dead may have liked Maine just a bit.

Phil busts in to start out the jam and it must have shook the house. Heavy '84 version.

Just a great great performance of this song. The band is in full effect to end this show.

One More Saturday Night

Knickerbocker Arena

Solid version. Original vocs are strong . Not the first time the boys re-recorded vocals.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 12, 1981
Greek Theater

Jerry is completely dialed-in to his tone for this Fire. I feel that this may have been the sound he searched for in every Fire. The rest of the band is on as well with contributions abundant throughout. A highly recommended under the radar version.
