Hot version from a killer first set! Short but heady jam. AUD for full effect.

Short version, but some great MIDI playing. You can hear how deeply influenced Garcia was by saxophonists.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Holy lawd this is hot! I know it's either nostalgia or illusion to preach anything after 1990, but this is wonderful. Pure X factor and for so long!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Feb. 13, 1970
Fillmore East

This one just rolls along, a nice little version! The band seems to have just a bit of a pep to their step.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Winterland Arena

Just pulled it up on that new (to me, at least) listentothedead.com site. Nice, tight, fast '77 jamming. You'll not regret a second of this.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

Great American Music Hall

Not the longest, but the band is tight as hell, and you can hear them chomping at the bit during the introduction. Really well played, I can understand why this is *the* version for folks.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Manor Downs

Might not be to everyone's taste, but I've always enjoyed.
