Outstanding NFA>Black Peter. One of the cooler late 70's versions. Jerry voice is so tender!

If every version sounded this jazzy, it would have a better following. Great tempo and Bill is so tight!!

Absolute monster early version.

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

The beginning of this song is pure disco beats. Never heard that until now, what a powerhouse version...
To Lay Me Down

Winterland Arena

This version is absolutely breath taking, should be near the top of the list..

Barton Hall - Cornell University

I'm gonna have to agree with this vote as top notch. In a show I definitely feel is good but not great the vibe of this version is awesome. Broke the tape listening to this version way back when!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

35th anniversary of this legendary show today. Spun the Scarlet>Fire and enjoyed it, not sure if it's #1 though. I personally prefer 05-17-77 better but that's IMO. Beautiful still though 35yrs and counting!!
