China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1980
Capitol Theatre

This “I know you Rider” has one on the tightest, most energetic closing jams you have ever heard. Not a well know show, give it a listen.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

30 + minutes, well jammed, many different themes. The Fire is especially good, both keyboardists adding texture, Jerry finding a few unique rifts.

Stagger Lee

Augusta Civic Center

Maine shows were always top notch, no different here with an excellent version of Stagger Lee.

Winterland Arena

I’ll give the nod to the 10-18 Winterland version, but this one is also very good.

Fat, Fat distortion during Garcia’s final solo, short but exciting, give it a listen.

Here Comes Sunshine
Oct. 30, 1973
Kiel Auditorium

Another great version from the fall of ’73, in the opener slot to boot, can’t wait to hear the rest of the show.
Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 9, 1973
Winterland Arena

Outstanding version, just silky smooth. Nov / Dec ’73 has my favorite versions of HCS, this one needs more votes. On par with 11/14 San Diego and 11/17 UCLA versions.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 31, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

Another great version from the fall of ’79, the jam builds very slow and steady, driven by some great keyboards by Brent, but the band never peaks like 10/25 New Haven, but still very good. This version should have more votes, give it a listen.
Shakedown Street
Oct. 25, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

The best Shakedown from the fall of ’79 issued on RT Vol. 1 No, 1, sadly the only song from a great show that made it on this Road Trips, every show on the Sept & Oct East Coast tours are worth seeking out.
Jack Straw
July 2, 1988
Oxford Plains Speedway

Phil was definitely sending a message, “Wake Up Jerry” after a lackadaisical Iko Iko opener. The mix was also weird at the beginning, hard to get your levels right with Phil hammering it home. A must listen for any Jack Straw / Phil fan but not really not on par with some of the other amazing Jack Straw’s from ’78 thru 1980, even a few from ’84 beat this one IMHO.
