Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Music Hall

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cameron Indoor Stadium, Duke U

This version is played at a slightly different tempo, and Bobby makes some little changes to his solo. Very tight and peppy performance. This whole show is under the radar, with some intense second set playing.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 23, 1995
Charlotte Coliseum

Bruce and Vince really drive this.
Wharf Rat
Dec. 28, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Also the performance where Jerry yells "QUIET" to Keith when he's banging away on the piano during the "but I'll get back" bridge.

Fall into the Phil Zone.
He's Gone
Aug. 5, 1974
Philadelphia Civic Arena

The solo before the bridge is particularly remarkable. Garcia really works it.
