Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.

Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.

1984 audience only standalone Scarlet (touch) at Red Rocks. Great solo, excellent transition.

10 minutes, on YouTube and worth a peek in b/w scarlet>bucket and terrapin.

Out of Scarlet Begonias to open the second set, with some teases of the song in the transition.

Deal
Oct. 8, 1983
Richmond Coliseum

Great energy between Jerry and Brent once the outro gets going. This is a good version from the early 80s which for some reason is often overshadowed by 89-93 Deals. This is every bit as good and I like the October 83 sound here and elsewhere.

Yes, the transition is where it’s at.
Not Fade Away
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

I’ll add my voice to the chorus of underrated. I’ve listened to this 4 or 5 times over the last couple of weeks and it is as good as the night before and there are some really interesting guitar episodes in the middle.
Jack Straw

Giants Stadium

Good energy
He's Gone
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I’ve been sampling he’s gones for a couple of weeks now and I keep coming back to this one. I’ve never focused so specifically on all of the elements of the song before so while Id been familiar with this version since DP15, I’ve never been as mesmerized as I have been of late by the gospel section, the outro and then the shredding that goes into an all time NFA. Blissful music after the vocal jam
