University of Iowa

This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1981
Glens Falls Civic Center

Thanks for this Sharleena. This one is excellent, better than 6/18/83 for sure, even though it has less than half the votes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Market Square Arena

This is the best SF that I know of for which only an audience recording is available. June 18, 1983 is another good one - and it has a similar number of votes - but it's not in this league. Anyone know of any good AUD only SFs?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 27, 1989
The Omni

I listened to the whole sequence, one of my favorites, which in turn goes into the familiar sequence of drums>space>wheel. The Scarlet solo and transition are absolutely worth the time and the Fire is pretty good. You're right, the Fire, Fire, Fire before the outro is some nice late 80s enthusiasm from someone who didn't always have it.

I love it.
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1978
Shrine Auditorium

deadhoe69 - I've seen your other posts on the MNS mid jam and I agree that this song is best judged by the spacey section that comes at the end of the lyrics. You are right - this one is good. Try 6/23/84 for another winner in that section.
