I am one in the minority that wished it stayed in the lineup. I have always considered 10/25 and 10/28 - 1 and 2.

'84/'85 was kind for D>S. Drums here jam then a great Space with a slowly building Spanish jam.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Springfield Civic Center

Jer is fired up with his delivery of these Scarlet verses and the band creates magic on this early version for this duo. Definitely a hidden gem version.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Wow. I missed this version all these years. This show may be most known for the Terrapin into Alhambra extended combination. But there is so much more including this insane NotFade. Think Cornell meets Englishtown. It's not singularly better than either but close to each and takes elements of both. it's real good stuff, and be prepared it's manic for sure.
