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.

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.

Franklin's Tower
Oct. 27, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

This is GREAT version and it needs more votes, the entire pre-Drums segment of this show is outstanding, if you haven’t heard CAPE COD!! in awhile, give it a listen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Sept. 1, 1979
Holleder Memorial Stadium

We know ’77 is the bellwether year for amazing Half-Steps, branch out your listening and give this ’79 version a try, a great nomination from LagerandGospel. I regret waiting over 30-years to hear it again, a good SBD is out there and it is a really, really good version, from a show that I didn’t think much of when I attended it, but the tapes don’t lie, give it a listen and vote. The Franklin’s that follows also smokes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 5, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Spacey transition jam, and then a very fiery closing Fire jam, worth a listen.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 23, 1983
New Haven Coliseum

This is an under rated Scarlet>Fire from an under rated tour, everyone is ga ga over the Spring 90' Hamilton Scarlet>Fire, this one is on par with the Dick's Pick Vol. 6 version from Hartford, give it a listen.

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Great Version!!from a great Aud tape, give it a listen
