Pigpen giving his Hell's Angels a nice soulful version. $2 Hell's Angels Benefit show!

Interesting slow tempo. Keith's piano shines and Jerry is beautiful as normal!

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

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

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

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!!
