Rocking Casey Jones, first one with Brent. The band sounds completely revitalized with a new keyboard player.

Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This Not Fade Away is outstanding, slow funky intro and high energy vocals lead to a short second jam, but it will bring a smile to your face.

C. C. Rider

Madison Square Garden

I love the Branford solo, very sweet and where Jerry’s solo is supposed to be they transition to “Its Takes a Lot to Laugh…” Give it a listen.

C. C. Rider

Stanley Theater

Out of an amazing Gloria jam, the first C. C. Rider is a must listen, Bobby just spits out the lyrics. The jam that follows is hot as well.

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.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
