Jerry’s tone at this show makes this perhaps the heaviest version ever played!!!

Transcendent version + with Jerr going full-on spacey! (Weird, like the whole show!)

Perfect encapsulation of this show: not a lot of highlights, but absolutely rippin’, at the same time.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Louisiana State U

Comparing S>F’s makes no sense, as there are different species, and this one belongs to the all-too-rare super-groovin’ + waaay laid back phylum. Echoes of 1/31/78, which is the highest of compliments. Dreamy + kicked back + killer, all at once. A unique + historical version, which is extremely underrated. All-time.

This one is very hard to beat, because it’s just more fun than all the others, which often scream but aren’t quite as loose. New fav.

Lovely version + Brent’s beautiful overlays. Another example of this feeling like a late-70’s show…

Great 80’s/Brent version! (The implication being that these peaked in ‘77, but this one holds the candle…).
