U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Part of a nice 1-2 punch encore; the final, high energy rockers really elevate this show.

New Minglewood Blues
April 12, 1978
Cameron Indoor Stadium

Energetic version sandwiched between a KILLER Row Jimmy and an interestingly tempoed Loser.

Ramble On Rose
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Nice pace and vocals, almost as rockin' as the (pinnacle) '78 versions, with some Brent keys thrown in.

Brown Eyed Women
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Nifty '72 BEW sets-up a lovely, exploratory PITB...hold on to your hats for set 2, with a criminally underrated top 10 of all-time Dark Star.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
June 14, 1991
RFK Stadium

Nice encore to a stellar show...with Bruce taking us out on accordian!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

One of my favorite years for Scarlet/Fire. Great Scarlet, weird/mellow transition jam. Love Brent's reverby, spacey electric keys.
Greatest Story Ever Told
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Agreed. Jerry's guitar, Phil's bass, really rockin' version.
Days Between
March 27, 1993
Knickerbocker Arena

Also really dig this song and this version, though could see how it could be tough to take at a show; so depressing and melancholy
Loose Lucy

Knickerbocker Arena

^agree that Jerry's vocals are on here, and really throughout the whole show
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 21, 1977
Lakeland Civic Center

I rarely make a negative comment, but this one just really doesn't do it for me. Trying to get into '77 dead. Wan't to. Can't.
