Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Lakeland Civic Center

solos are amazing, but I can't get with the slow tempo.

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

I can see a lot of skepticism here because of the attention this gets from being on 30 trips, but I think this a really nice, tight version that holds it own (and doesn't make '75 look shabby on 30 trips).

no pyrotechnics, but a great rolling version.

As someone who is using the ratings on this site as a way to guide my discovery of great shows to explore on the archive, I will say that this version has definitely opened my ears to the later years, which i have not delved into very much. So many ideas being explored, all riding a groove that just goes on and on and on (2 chords forever!).
Bird Song

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

simply amazing solos. Only downer is that the vocal harmonies are a bit off (as they are on a bunch of songs on this otherwise impeccable show)
