Love me some later Cassidy's because many stretch the jam just a little longer. This one hits a great sweet spot

Spanish Jam
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Ethereal jam, the sound of what floating would feel like. Less aggressively "Spanish Jam" chord crunches like other versions, more hints of the song structure in deep exploration while jamming
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

This needs more dap. Peppy, tight, fluid jamming throughout and the highlight outro solo is like peeking into a spiritual musical conversation between Brent and Jerry. So, so good.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Finally scooped this on vinyl and my god, this second set holds up perfectly. Over an hour of top tier playing and perfect setlist choices. It starts with this all-timer Scarlet > Fire, which has literally everything you could want from this famed jam vehicle. Precise Scarlet with fluid dreamy transition, absolutely scorching Fire solos - this version is transcends.
Scarlet Begonias
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

First ever and surprisingly good, with a different type of sound. They don't hesitate to let it breath a bit after the verses, with some communicative playing (relatively speaking in duration - I think it tops out at ~7 min, but not bad at all for the first time played)
Black Throated Wind
March 23, 1974
Cow Palace

Good Bobby chaw on vocals, Jerry swirls in beautiful leads to close. Choice
