Lovely version from an underrated show. Nice harmonies from Brent especially and Jerry's solos sparkle.

How is this not here? Smooth, emotive version with a soaring solo from Jerry. Bruce buttresses it beautifully. Top version.

The Other One

Copps Coliseum

This one's spooky.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The more I listen the more I'm convinced this has become an all timer for me. Jerry's last two solos in "Fire" epitomize 'incendiary.' Grab a hold of something, because my chair buckled during this one.

Brent works himself into an absolute lather here.
Cold Rain and Snow

Boston Garden

This version is not sluggish at all. It's faster than some 1980s' version and has great work from all involved.
Jack Straw
Sept. 26, 1991
Boston Garden

Another great 1991 "Jack Straw."
