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.

Foolish Heart

Robert F. Kennedy Stadium

Good version for sure, but what follows is outstanding.
Believe It Or Not
July 29, 1988
Laguna Seca Recreation Area

The second (and last) of only 2 times I heard this song, this is a great version from a GREAT show.
Morning Dew
June 23, 1988
Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Set closing Dew’s always seemed to have that extra umphh! Good version, nice Phil bombs, can’t think of a better Dew from ’88.
Morning Dew
Sept. 2, 1980
Community War Memorial Auditorium

Best early 80’s I saw and surprised it only has 1 vote. Great, great version, Dick’s Picks 21 filler, give it a listen.
Morning Dew
April 27, 1977
Capitol Theatre

If May 8th is most people’s favorite version, (at least the most votes for a 70’s version) than this one should be in second place, I was amazed that I did not know this version, right there with Cornell, top 5 all time and it need to be heard and have more votes, give it a listen.
