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.

Maine shows were always top notch, no different here with an excellent version of Stagger Lee.

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.

The Music Never Stopped

Indiana Convention Center

The Mid-Section jam also soars, and the final is sick. I don't know a better version from 79' This should have more votes, give it a listen.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Listened to this again today, love how laid back the Scarlet jam is, Donna adds a lot, very mellow and cool and the start of Fire is so sublime, so much confidence. The brief distortion at the start of the closing jam just gives me the chills each time I hear it, what a debut!!

Had to add vote, show #2 for me and this is a very Heady version.

Heard it a few times, but today it got my attention, the climax jam is just outstanding. I'm going to give the Matrix a listen, my Clugston-Lucas CBD aud patch is very harsh. This show (3-Night run) should be released.
