Unusual spot for it as the encore. A bit ramshackle but Jerry's in fine form.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Sung and played with authority.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 22, 1989
Charlotte Coliseum

The post-"Franklin's" jam is absolutely terrifying and has many of the same elements of the 10/26 "Dark Star." That it comes out of "Franklin's" of all songs makes it even weirder and more interesting. Their happiest, bounciest sounding song becomes this hellish soundscape.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

I'm in West Palm Beach on vacation now and decided to blast this one on the boat. It is cemented as a Top 5-er for me. Whole band is nutzo. Fast and furious but also tight. Let's bump this way up.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This song really came back with a vengeance in the early 1980s'. This one is the pinnacle but every version from 1980-85 just rips.
