This one is just ridiculously good. Jerry's solo is fantastic, and the band is on all the way through.

Another one of those "not sure why it's" great versions. The Philly crowd singalong is great too!

Cole Field House

Tripped.-out long and interesting rendition. There's no particular direction that this jam plans to go. I like hearing that point where the crowd realizes they've tread new ground with the group.

Knickerbocker Arena

Brent driven jam that is in fact great as described.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Philadelphia Civic Center

Yes for sure, this one did slip, through is right. The intro to this Fire is in fact very special. It is just beautiful. What Brent is doing on the keys is, wow, amazing. The band drifts effortlessly into the Fire, as a single being. Fantastic!

The jam rolls and rolls and then almost goes silent before it takes off again. So great!
