Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 4, 1980
Baltimore Civic Center

Strong version from an under-the-radar show. Glassberg aud is the best source
Eyes Of The World
June 21, 1983
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Great call. Several early 80’s versions feature Jerry playing that MNS style riff. Off the top of my head, 9/12/81 is one..
Black Throated Wind
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

Just exactly perfect
Shakedown Street
April 30, 1981
Greensboro Coliseum

Smoldering funk fest
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 30, 1977
The Palladium

As good as any May '77 version honestly..
