Sweet, powerful latter-day version on a hot afternoon on the soccer field at Cal State.

Why isn't this rager on here yet?! Maybe not as long as some, but full of that early Dead energy that we love so much!

Absolutely ROCKIN' Mason's kicks off the eeeelectric portion of this show. This might be the first one ever played...they rip it up!

Powerhouse '78 version...Jerry's WAY into it. Keith's late-era approach to the song has changed so much...he just pounds it out instead of ticklin'.

This one is a new discovery for me. This might actually be my #2...behind the one from two days earlier. Slipknot out of the outro jam...really jazzy and nice.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 13, 1994
Memorial Stadium

I was there. I remember not being all that impressed. Maybe it was the sound at these shows? The combination of Cutler's live mix and Jerry's new rig. Listening to the tapes, though...what I wouldn't give...
