Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

Cliche, but how in the Holy Hell is this version not listed? This whole show smokes in that beautuful 78 way...

Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

Come on now, this version is definitely better than 3/18/95 The Spectrum, not quite sure how a 95 version is ahead of the next ten, and yes I have the show and have listened to it, but anyways, this version is sweet af

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Jerry Garcia was really REALLY adept at playing the electric 6 string guitar!

The only time that I cried at a show, (that I can remember)...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 30, 1979
Stanley Theater

They DO do this with the 2 solos between the broken up verses in Scarlet at least 3 other times, I have made mental notes of this in a few other shows but not physical ones and was high, so as I find them again, I'm gonna make notes of these 'oddities', like there's a Bertha during the Europe 81 tour that has 2 main solos between verses, and an 'only 1 of it's kind' post 74 Phil Bass solo in Eyes, on 10/1/77 Paramount Theater...
