Community War Memorial Auditorium

One of the tightest versions I have ever heard. I would place this towards the top. Jerry is in the zone, this really is a killer version. No lies.

They really bring the hammer down on this one. Tight and hot version, the drummers especially lead the breakdown into the witchita line perfectly

Definitely overlooked because of the monster that came the night after, but in fact this is a really hot version.

High energy Drums < Jam. The drums are awesome with some fantastic energy, but the real highlight is this unbelievable jam following the drums.

The energy is off the chain, this is my favorite. Great way to blow up the house.

Yes! Absolutely this is sick. Smoking version, from a smoking show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

JFK Stadium

This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Jerry thunders through this with some incredibly explosive leads, and the whole band is there with him.
