Another great version from the fall of ’79, give it a listen. Make sure you find the Charlie Miller_Rob Eaton SBD, very nice.

He's Gone

Boston Garden

Wow, How did the 1980 Boston Garden “Caution Don’t Stop…” version not get nominated, LISTEN Now, if you knew about it, you would vote, rivals 5/6/81.

Amazing “Gloria Jam” follows this well played He’s Gone, Fall ’79 rules again, Check it out on Road Trips Vol 1, No 1.

Madison Square Garden

Very nice outtro jam, 9+ mins, almost reaching mammoth proportions on its way to what we thought would be a monstrous Other One, never quite got there

Augusta Civic Center

They totally screw up the lyrics, but once they hit “Get back Truckin’ On” wow it rocks, the first peak is very powerful, then a second peak.

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.

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

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

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