Great powerful version, (Phil is possessed) from an underrated show, give it a listen.

Not Fade Away
Aug. 31, 1979
Glenns Falls Civic Center

Great intro, Weir on slide, (yes well played Weir slide), some nice jamming between verses, more slide, (not as nice), another jam after the NFA coda

Franklin's Tower

Madison Square Garden

Another solid version from the Fall ’79 tour, neat closing jam, not as long as the 2 amazing Cape Cod versions, but worth a listen

Franklin's Tower

Holleder Memorial Stadium

Out of an amazing and way underrated Half-Step, this version rocks. Not quite up to the Cape Cod versions, but Fall ’79 rules. Give it a listen.

The Spectrum

Another smoking version from Spring ’83. Just listened to it for the first time in 29-1/2 years. Great Bobby rap again, Get No, Get No, No No No!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This one is now released on the bonus disk on Dave’s Picks Vol 12, we almost have the entire show. If a shame cause if should be heard as it should, as complete show, as this is a fine show. With a very fine Scarlet>Fire, probably ranked where is should be in top twenty for 77’, but then I imagine all Scarlet>Fire’s from 77’ have been nominated.
Cold Rain and Snow
Nov. 4, 1977
Cotterell Gym - Colgate University

1st version of 77’, Jerry slams into it right out of Samson, no drums closing, no final vocal refrain, right into Cold Rain. Great show, Great version. Just released on Dave’ Pick’s Vol 12 and should have some more votes. This is the first night of one of the best weekend runs in the Dead’s history, Check all out “Colgate-Rochester-Binghamton” should have been released as a box set, throw in Toronto as well.
Candyman
March 24, 1988
Omni Coliseum

I was at this show as well, one of my definitive “Late Inning” moments, Jerry had everyone’s attention.
Sing Me Back Home
Aug. 27, 1972
Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

My favorite version, from one of the best shows. Will now need to give 5/26/72 a listen.
