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.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl

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!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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.

I was just listening to this one today. It keeps building towards the end with a really nice Phil lead jam before it just explodes. Great call!
The Other One
Feb. 28, 1969
Fillmore West

20 minutes of Lovelight>20 Minutes of That's It For The Other One>20 Minutes of Dark Star>20 Minutes of St, Stephen & The Eleven! Are you freaking kidding me? After that hour and a half (approx.), if you still had the energy or the mind capacity left to move, you're a better man than I.

Fillmore West

Nice aggressive version. Much faster than most of the one's you'll hear. The boys seem to be really enjoying themselves though. My favorite version.
Mountains of the Moon
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

This has to be the ultimate version. Jerry's voice coming in off the low volume start of the instruments. Amazing!
Dear Mr. Fantasy

Alpine Valley

The ultimate version where Brent lets go and just takes over the song.
