Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.

Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.

Scarlet Begonias

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

1984 audience only standalone Scarlet (touch) at Red Rocks. Great solo, excellent transition.

10 minutes, on YouTube and worth a peek in b/w scarlet>bucket and terrapin.

Hell in a Bucket

Out of Scarlet Begonias to open the second set, with some teases of the song in the transition.

New Orleans

I loved this short one. Bob really goes after it and you are right, the groove is infectious right from the start.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 27, 1978
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I can't find a CM source for this one cucamonga. I've been listening to the darst sbd which has two patches during the rio grandeo section that are a bit of a letdown. But the solos during the halfstep portion - particularly the first one - are played much harder than say any of the '77s. The first solo is something else.
Franklin's Tower

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

This is my version right now. Crisp and clear, but loud and almost violent at times.
Not Fade Away
Oct. 6, 1977
Activity Center. Arizona State U

This probably should be one of the top versions of this song on here, but it's kind of hidden away by the weird transmission problem that Grendel is talking about. It's a nice find.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
May 25, 1974
Campus Stadium, UCSB

It's a rapid Feelin' Groovy and the burn on Mexicalis and MAMUs is warranted.
