Shocked this version isn't posted Garcia doesn't want to quit and the vocal harmonies are as good as it gets.

It's possible there are 73-74 versions that don't belong on the list but this is defenitly not one of them.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

As good as barton hall!
Dark Star
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Almost any of the top few ranked would be #1 depending on the listeners mood but I do check in on this one often for its mix of spooky,majesty and pure beauty.
Morning Dew
May 23, 1969
Seminole Indian Village

Almost all the 69 versions are great,don't know why they got such little love here?
Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

My second show,didn't know the tune when it started was etched in my soul by jerrys closing solo.
