Wow this version smokes, only an (Great) AUD recording is available, but Jerry is possessed, kinds of blows up at the end, but the middle jam rocks.

Not surprised this version is not listed, only an AUD recording is available, make sure you get the Space_Wharf Rat into, Phil is divine.

Great version there’s a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf4B-p3B3K0 During the jam the video focuses on Phil and he is clearly having a blast.

The bust out version, 1st one since the Melk Weg, what a run at the BCT. Give it a listen.

Long, long closing jam, major Phil bombs and fiery strumming by both Weir and Garcia, give it a listen. Road Trips No.1 Vol 1 Full Show.

Hard to Handle
April 25, 1971
Fillmore East

The first of the five night Fillmore East closing run, they all are good, this one deserves more than one vote. The recording is not as pristine as the rest of the run, but it still smoke, especially Phil.

We had this tape in High School, a couple of years after it was played, still holds up to those first, “Holy Shit these guys are good” thoughts. Played all 5 nights of the Fillmore East closing run, and all are good, this one is the BEST.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Hard to believe there has only been one “official” release from 83’, this Scarlet> Fire is phenomenal. The Scarlet Jam & the 2nd Fire solo are what makes this one stand out to me. There is a rift in the 2nd Fire solo that just grabs you, it starts to soar and makes you dance every time I hear it. I wore out my master, from 83’ to 96’ when it was released as a Dick’s Picks. Come on Dave give us some more 83’ it’s been too long.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Nassau Coliseum

The fall of 79’ had a great run of amazing Scarlet>Fires, starting with Holleder on 09-01 and ending with this one, all are worth seeking out. This Nassau version has a lot of depth and new idea and themes, love Weirs’ chords in the second jam.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Auditorium Theatre

Just listened to this version again, part of the May 77’ box set. Can’t think of a better version at a better venue, the great ones I saw in 77’ Englishtown & Binghamton have nothing on the Auditorium Theatre venue wise, wish I was at this one.
