The last halfstep of '76. After Rio Grandeo everyone including the crowd gets into it. The source is a B+ AUD.

Brown Eyed Women

This one is fiery, especially the solo, in the vein of 8/24/80, including a hint of a Delilah Jones growl.

Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
June 4, 1977
The Forum

Yes this is smoky from top to bottom.
Caution
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that many of you might do well to spark one up before you hear this.
He's Gone
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

The last five minutes of this version are amazing and the last minute or so before the transition to Caution is uniquely beautiful.
Let It Grow
April 13, 1986
Irvine Meadows

The transition from supplication is smooth and Jerry's playing is clear and strong.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Great scarlet solo and a really sweet transition. I like the fire better than klaus smith does even though something apparently goes wrong with jerry's rig for a moment before the first verse. This is a nice one -from the same batch as DP6 - but definitely stands up well on its own.
