Kansas City
"For those of you who were watching TV last night" KC won the World Series. I guess I wasn't the only one.

Brother Esau
Complete with kickin' cow bell, nice long intro, easily one of the best you'll find.

Pretty Peggy O
There's a depth to this Peggy-O that only the Fox could give.

Row Jimmy
Great cadence to this one and some cool reverb effects lend a trippy mesmerizing feel to this fine entry from the Fox. Get the CM SBD source.

Stagger Lee
A Healy masterpeice the sbd is art and quickly widespread. Garcia nails every verse with vengeance screams of passion matched by his poetic solo. WOW!

Scarlet Begonias
Confident stand alone set 2 opener. Loads of Brent and Phil. Phil leads the boys nicely into touch of grey.

Ramble On Rose
Garcia and his fretboard are truly one with vocal rage taboot. I find this to be a favorite 80s first set of mine.

Sugaree
Great long slow building version to open a nearly perfect set. Surprised nobody has mentioned this one before

Doesn't seem to want to end - some vocal flubs from Bobby but excellent and energetic version
