Don't think it's great on it's own, but nice part of Estimated>He's Gone>D>S>Truckin'>TOO>Stella sequence.

Ship of Fools

I think this version works best when Keith is adding color to it, and he sounds nice here.

Ramble On Rose

Nassau Coliseum

“Rose” has that nice shuffle-boogie I love so much (I think they nail the tempo). Listen to the crowd explode when he hits the “just like NYC” line!

New Minglewood Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Why should you give a whiz about another version of Minglewood?

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 13, 1983
Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
May 17, 1978
Uptown Theater

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.
Dark Star

Paramount Theater

Another great version from 72!
Alligator
Aug. 5, 1967
O'Keefe Center

This version needs some serious love. Face melting Primal Dead right here!
