Pure Donna vocals, and raging Garcia solo before the last verse. Donna sounds great throughout this entire show—it's a real smoker.

NOT just another '77 version. BIG bridge solo, pure Jerry/Donna backing vocals, scary Mutron solo into Eyes. One of the best.

Baltimore Civic Center

NOT just another '77 version. Insanely-tight jamming, 2nd set opener, KEITH, JERRY, PHIL! Best version I've heard.

P.N.E. Coliseum

Easily the best '74 version. Keith plays beautiful Rhodes piano, Phil tears it up, and the vocals are pure.

Out of Half-Step opener of the last show of Brent's first tour with the band. Love his early '79 keys sound.

Fire On The Mountain

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

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.
