Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 10, 1987
Laguna Seca Raceway

Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Sports Arena

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away
July 28, 1973
Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World
Dec. 5, 1971
Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

Estimated Prophet
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

I'm kind of new here, so if there's a more experimental version of this tune from the month, can someone point me in its direction?
Eyes Of The World
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

I'm kind of new here, so forgive a couple of stupid questions: this seems pretty fast, but is that just me needing to get out more? And is the banter before "Estimated" the band talking about moving from there to here? And gotta love the ending, he tears it up!
Scarlet Begonias
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

It's best to hear it in the context of the surrounding "Playings," but it stands on its own as well. Listen to the AUD to hear the interaction between Garcia and Lesh.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1974
Roosevelt Stadium

Monster version, and the AUD is worth a listen, you can really hear the crowd react.
Bird Song
Oct. 18, 1989
The Spectrum

Great version with some nice MIDI work from Jerry. Deserves a listen!
