Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Yeah, I don't think this is better than 02-05 by a long shot. Yes, the playing is as superior as you would expect from this time, and Jerry's "let it burn" lights up the band. But Bobby's thin sounding, out-of-tune slide practice mars an otherwise all-time version.
Dancin' in the Streets

Springfield Civic Center Arena

Goofy and amped up at the same time. Ending vocal jam is solid and interesting.
Viola Lee Blues
March 18, 1967
Winterland Arena

fantastic, great interplay during the solo. This whole show is phenomenal.
Cold Rain and Snow

Jerry's on fire all night (and I'm a Garcia fanatic), but you're totally right, Phil makes this. The Pigpen/Garcia interplay is also pretty cool.

Winterland Arena

Rager, monster Garcia solos.
