Starts out floating and drifing, but picks up a serious head of stream before the transition...

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Lakeland Civic Center

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!

Baltimore Civic Center

Top notch version from a pretty overlooked show.

Springfield Civic Center

Probably the best of the year. The final jam starts so tentatively you think it's going nowhere, then - BAM - they just knock you sideways. Amazing stuff.

The Sportatorium

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.
