Little ragged vocally, but a beautiful end to a wide-ranging and justly famous show.

One of the first bits of Dead I ever heard.

Solidly played, beautiful cacophony at the end as the band varies the outro themes.

Not Fade Away
Sept. 18, 1970
Fillmore East

Yeah, this one smokes!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

holy crap, this really is *that* good. Massive version. Crowd goes nuts during Scarlet as Jerry cuts open early and never lets up. First-flight Scarlet with a killer transition and enough goo to construct a home for you and your family. And then the Fire.

Holleder Memorial Stadium

Wow, monster pairing with a beastly Fire!
Morning Dew

Winterland Arena

Oh wow, how have I never heard this before? Monster performance, Jerry's giving it his all vocally, and the > from a great Star just make everything better.
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Overshadowed from the night before, and not nearly as intense, but still a great performance from a year of them. Lots of slow, cool, exploratory lines, and Jerry kicks a few riffs around that make everything very interesting. Fall '72!
