It can't be said enough how well Bobby plays this show. This is basically a rhythm guitar duel with Jerry, and it kicks ass.

An early but good one. The rhythm section kills, and Jerry's solo is wah-heavy and psychedelic.

Long before this song was a 15-minute soloing showcase, Jerry put the gusto into his vocals. This one exemplifies that - the whole band sounds great!

The band hits another gear toward the end, especially after the false ending. I've never heard Billy go as crazy as this before. Great one!

This song was a firestorm in the early Keith era - just listen to him bang those keys here! You can practically see the smoke billowing from his keys.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

This might be the happiest I've ever been listening to a Scarlet > Fire. Fresh off Dave's Picks 35, this makes the entire album worth it. So joyful and stuffed with positive vibes, particularly during Jerry's soloing.

If I'm not mistaken, I hear a little bit of the intro to "Here Comes Sunshine" here, particularly in the first section of the outro jam. It's very cool and a nice transition into Samson.
It Must Have Been The Roses

Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

I'm not usually a fan of the Dead's '75 shows, but this one is an all-time best and the highlight of this show.

My favorite Brent version - and maybe my favorite ever!
