Wow Jerry gives every single word a little extra attention, dialed in a very emotional reading. Brent is fantastic on this version. A classic take.

Absolutely a keeper this is among my favorites, truly special. I like this tune more than most. I love a smoking Foolish Heart and this fits the bill

Just blistering at the end, whole version is strong, but it gets truly special towards the end.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Barton Hall - Cornell University

THis may be the most famous and often considered the best and i really can't argue it. Truly heady great transition, PHIL is amazing Jerry is smoking hot.Not sure if either is my favorite version alone but the two together are just amazing. Philrmonic can you find me a stella blue that Brent plays better than Keith does on 4-26-1977? Id LOVE to hear that.
