Lots of submissions from this show. 2 well-played sets - this is my favorite Stagger Lee, not sure exactly why it just has IT.

The freakin harmonies on this one I miss that trio singing Euro 72 style. Back when Phil could sing that high

This one gets up here for Brent's creativity during the Jam. UJB sandwich 2nd set is sweet.

Jerry's voice. Wow. This version is basically studio ready. Phil drops a few well-timed bombs. Just a sweet version all around.
Little Red Rooster

Utica Coliseum

This is a class A rock and roll solo for the Jer Ber in this version. Wow! '81 was tight as it gets tight.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 8, 1979
Capitol Center

The B3 solo in Fire - love it. Could of used more of that actually. Great stuff.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

If this version doesnt have you smiling, I dont know what to tell you. The energy from every member of the band is palpable, Brent's keys, Phil's bombs, the drummers thunder rolls, Garcias fills and Bobby's vocals with high energy screaming, comes together and makes this one a must listen to for all Heads.
