Hampton Coliseum

How is this not on here already? The Warlocks show from Virginia is the ultimate version of Dear Mr. Fantasy.

This version is dominated more by Pig's harmonica than the guitars. Still an awesome version.

Solid version of this song on a night when the boys were really connected. No matter how you feel about Vince, this is a great song!

Shoreline Amphitheatre

The only Scarlet>Victim>Fire. What a way to kick off a second set. Incredible jams that just kept rolling. One of the best of the late Dead era.

Perfection in the transition and they carry the energy from Sugar Mag into a really spirited Scarlet.

Meadowlands Arena

Between the Phil bombs and the interplay with Jerry, Bob, and Brent, I raised my blood pressure about 30 points by the 4 minute mark. An absolute killer version!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Broome County Arena

How have I slept on this show for this long? Thanks for waking me up! Great version to kick off a great show.
The Other One

This version is like a thoroughbred running the Belmont. Comes out of the gate at a good clip. Makes a sprint down the back stretch (The Other One) and then eases up a little only to just crush it down the homestretch and win by 10 lengths. Freaking awesome!
