Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
April and May 78 versions are huge! From the famed Mescaline show...the band kills it in this rendition.

Loser
Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
This one has to be on the list, the jamming is not great, (They were very, very high), but the vocal finale is off the charts, just beaming with fun.

Looks Like Rain
Like this more than alot of the 77 versions. Seems like Bob is more into it vocally at end and Jer giving better fills.
