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.

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

Yes! One of the great lesser-known versions from '72.

Wow this one really moved up! Nice to see it near the top where it deserves to be :)

Great pre verse jams on this one...very jazzy. The post verse tiger/space gets pretty nuts.

Amazing, the post verse jams are some of the wildest and trippiest of all time...Keith and Jerry wail!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

William and Mary College Hall

A beautiful, jazzy, and mellow rendition with a nice unique intro by Jerry. Love how fresh they kept this song in this era.
