Scarlet Begonias

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

View from the Vault IV. A fantastic standalone "Scarlet" coming out of a hot "Hell in a Bucket."

Giants Stadium

Both keyboardists are giving it their all in this triumphant version. The perfect tempo, and perfect energy level!

RFK Stadium

Not normally a big fan of this song, but Bruce Hornsby on accordion adds a lot of welcome texture to the mix

Fox Theatre

Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.

Oxford Plains Speedway

Brent is all over this one, and makes it a standout from a very good show.

Hell in a Bucket
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

I've always loved Phil's bass on this one - he's nice and loud and keeping up with the fast tempo. Definitely the best version ever.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

As massive as the Fire ever got. This is a whole band effort, all the way through to the epic jam at the end. Truly an amazing version.
Good Lovin'
Dec. 31, 1976
Cow Palace

TheBusCame, you're definitely correct - there's shades of HCS all throughout this version! Pretty cool, considering they hadn't played said track in nearly three years.
Ramble On Rose
Sept. 22, 1993
Madison Square Garden

Love Jerry's MIDI solo here. Turns it into a HUGE version.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1990
Deer Creek Music Theater

Out of control! The Rider is about as fast as they ever played, and the transition jam is an old-school slice of Bobby riffs.
