High-energy playin' from the boys. Great Garcia solos and Phil bombs.

New Potato Caboose
May 5, 1967
Fillmore Auditorium

Electric cool-aid acid version from the beginning of the Summer of Love. You can actually get body waves from listening to this one. Love the organ.

They Love Each Other
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

A truly heady version from fall '79. Brent's key-clicking Rhodes piano and Jerry's beautiful solo make this my favorite version. TIGHT performance.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Feb. 5, 1978
Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

A bit rough around the edges but BALLS OUT energy the whole way through. An incredible performance with Jerry belting it out.

Crazy unique FOTM intro jam, unlike any other version I've heard. LOVE '78!

Fire On The Mountain

Sphinx Theatre

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

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.
Dancin' in the Streets

Winterland Arena

19 minutes of pure funkiness. Goes deep.
