It Must Have Been The Roses
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

One of the most passionately sung Roses out there, all the Jerry ballads from these two nights at Red Rocks should be on the list.

Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

The entire 1st set from UVM ’78 should be in the list, this Roses is another of the gems from this set.

The vocals are very impassioned, Jerry wailing away on the final, Donna in sync. LOVE this version, check it out.

Scarlet Begonias

Alpine Valley

The best Sugar>Scarlet transition I heard live, seamless and perfect. Great to see it again “At the Movies”.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Great version, I saw two Scarlet> Fire’s in ’77, but this one is when I really “Got It”, the Scarlet transition jam is wonderful, even Donna has a soulful quality. The real kicker for me is the Fire vocal finale, this is the first time I remember the Row, Row, Row your Boat repetition of the lyrics, I when I first heard the tape a few years ago, it all came flooding back. Makes me smile every time I hear it.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The version just before Atlanta is equally hot, can’t miss a single Scarlet> Fire from the Spring of ’78. I like the Scarlet transition jam even better. The first Fire solo is tremendous, Jerry’s tone is very fat, starts to fan a little, then the “You really can’t fake” line is delivered with authority, very nice. The finale is not as hot as Atlanta, but still very good.

Fox Theatre

Wow, did not know this version, now in my top ten for sure. The entire band is on FIRE! I love all the ’78 versions of Scarlet> Fire and this one needs to be heard, listen and vote.

Also my favorite version, there is about 60 seconds of pure bliss during the final jam that made all the miles worthwhile.
