Nice version in the middle of a huge Set II. Whole set is worth a listen!

Hot solos from Jerry and Brent. Killer blues.

This wasn't on here? Jerry's tone is dialed in, and it's infused with the spirit of the opening "Stranger"

Hot show opener. You can tell it's an on night.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

First off, listen to this in context of the whole "Stranger > Space > S > F." Sick jam. I've never really cared about Vince (I'm young), but he's contributing nicely. Nothing compared to Lesh, who seems to have a bone in his teeth, and plays some interesting lines right as the band moves to "Fire."

I've never really cared about this song, to be honest, but this helped me get it. And the space is unreal.

Fillmore East

Is the date right on this? I didn't find anything on the archive...

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Absolutely. One of my new favorite shows. Any others you want to pitch? Our tastes align fairly often.

And listen to Keith bring the heat at the end! I had to double back to check this out again.
