Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 31, 1992
Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

A "Scarlet -> Fire" not listed? Color me shocked. This one's a good one from the last of three really great nights in Vegas. Jerry's dialed in.

They Love Each Other
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Surprised this isn't up; this whole show is quite hot and has a very unique, calypso sort of vibe. This TLEO is a great example of that. Check it out.

Earth shaker! Great middle jam, enthusiastic vocals from Bobby, this one is a gem.

Dark Star
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

This, 9/10, and 10/18 are some of the most beautiful, subtle and musical versions ever performed. No weird feedback breakdowns or anything, just epic displays of how good the band can be.
Passenger
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

The raw coarseness in Brent's voice fits the harmonies so much better than Donna's.
Bertha
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Fantastic version. Tight as can be and rocks like nobody's business.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This one rips a hole in the space-time continuum.
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

One of many tasty delights from the best show of 1995.
