A crisp version with a PITB jam outro before Wharf Rat.

Aug. 21, 1968
Fillmore West

About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

Mountain Jam

Fillmore West

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Mountain Jam

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

This Fire is fantastic. Aggressive, psychedelic playing by Keith, whatever it is that he is playing, and the solo that Jerry takes after the first chorus is great, bottom to top.

Music Hall

This is beautiful. Jerry and the crowd get worked up at the same time on this warm audience recording. I bet this one would be good in its own way if there were a SBD, but the linked source would still be worth hearing from time to time.
The Music Never Stopped

Hampton Coliseum

A little out of control and kind of violent at times. They really go after this one in both the midsection and the outro.
Dancin' in the Streets
Oct. 20, 1978
Winterland Arena

This is definitely a great. I love the actual beginning of the jam, funky spacey stuff, but 8:00-9:45 is an amazing Jerry and Bob dialogue and what follows is a glorious snapshot of a moment in time.

Winterland Arena

Crystal clear and sweet, then a fiery Bob and Jerry finish. As a standalone, or even as a halfstep>franklin's this one is better than 5 votes.
