Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Box of Rain

Fillmore East

Really unbelievable that they wouldn't play this again until 10/9/72 after this near-perfect first version
Mama Tried

Alfred College

Its really really good Nog
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

After listening to this one I assumed it would be near the top but I am shocked...Bobby sounds great at the end of LL and Jerry just knocks Supplication out of the park. Awesome combo
Scarlet Begonias
July 13, 1984
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

This Scarlet B is hot stuff in it's own right. And transition into Fir.....eh Touch is fantastic!!!!! Obviously worth checking out for the whole sequence though

A+ outro solo and I love the keys on this one too. Should be higher for sure
