Incredible jazzy transition into Supplication

He's Gone
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

I'm not a huge fan of this song after 74, but this version is just exactly perfect. Gave me chills!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

I'm surprised this one isn't listed yet. Although the Fire is only average, this Scarlet is one of the best unsung versions ever.

Jan. 6, 1978
Swing Auditorium

If you dig 11-6-77, you'll love this. One of the highest-octane versions ever performed. Insanity.

The extended jams after "stronger than dirt" have some of their best interplay ever
Playin' In The Band
June 8, 1974
Coliseum Stadium

This Playin has an absolutely insane meltdown and the transition leading up to Wharf Rat is really sweet. Phil is outstanding as well...what a great version!
Scarlet Begonias

Campus Stadium, UCSB

These first Scarlets are so effing tight and packed with energy!
