Ramble On Rose

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

A very tight version with great Phil bombs and Jerry solo. This show slips under the radar. Don't miss it.

Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Jerry's Mutron magic and Bobby's noodling slide make this version unique. So much energy here.

Drums -> Space

Capital Centre

The jam out of Terrapin>Drums>And>Space is a lysergic MIDI soup of ecstasy. Too bad it had to go into Brent's cheesy lullaby after instead of a Wheel

Frost Amphitheatre

A raging '83 version, filled with crispy headiness. Bobby and Jerry steal faces during the end jam.

Winterland Arena

Flawless execution. Perfect Keith solo and Garcia performance. A definitive '77 version.

Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

No one has mentioned the intro yet? Easily the coolest Jerry intro solo to FOTM. Mutron goodness.

Huntington Civic Center

My personal #1. Very unique Garcia solos and phrasing during the verses. Aside from the rather rough performance of They Love Each Other, the boys could do no wrong at this show! Epic first set.

Wow, this gets intense. Really good interplay between the band, and Bobby's loopy, staccato rhythm work is not to be missed (although Garcia will easily draw your attention).
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

I've been revisiting this show over the past few days after digging out my old CD set. I'm surprised at just how good this whole night is, especially the Scarlet>Fire. On-point playing from every member of the band.

19 minutes of pure funkiness. Goes deep.
