Velvety smooth with Jerry and Keith adding some great accents and fills...bridge solo is very nice!

Listed as a 'Space' on the Dick's Pick, but really part of an epic Truckin>Other One jam, this gets really out there!!!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

An absolutely stunning, note perfect transition right here. Garcia weaving total magic. Second best of the year behind 10-2-77.

Whoa. This first half is some of the most balls to the wall Other One jamming you'll hear. Worthy of the 1968-69 versions!

Top notch version from a pretty overlooked show.

A fantastic version, but I think it's actually a little overshadowed by the other greats of May - check out 5/11, 5/19, and 5/28 for some of the pinnacles of this tune IMHO.
