Flows nicely into everyone's favorite, "I Will Take You Home" -- so popular it's not even listed as an option because it would crash the server

William and Mary College Hall

Coming out of Scarlet Begonias, has a bit more of a '76 vibe than most of 77-78

Oakland Auditorium

Not a long version, but erupting with shards of pure sweet Jerry. From the Road Trips 3.1 bonus disc.

Franklin's Tower
Dec. 4, 1979
Uptown Theater

Jam out of Franklin's is really sweet. Surprised it wasn't included on the Fall '79 Road Trips, but now it's filler material on the latest Dave's Picks so it sounds as good as can be.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Probably an example of something much better to listen to on a tape than at the actual show, especially since most people there wouldn't have known the song.

Huge finish... guessing this version will get more upvotes thanks to the release of Dave's Picks 31.
