Brown Eyed Women

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

Hampton Coliseum

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

St. Stephen
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This is the end of an era. It's not my favorite song, but this one is great and it doesn't sound this good when it returns.
The Music Never Stopped
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

"The jazzy-spacey mid section jam," as deadhoe69 says, is killer on this version. It's hard to see what this one is missing except the SBD. There's something for everybody.
Row Jimmy
Dec. 28, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

This is my go to row jimmy. Admittedly, this is one of the 6 disks stuck in the time machine car/cd player I spin around in. But the double time at the end is stellar - this was a great road trip.
Dark Star
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

To some this is not a real DS, but I gotta say this is gorgeous - no paralysis or bugs crawling, just beautiful flow.
Shakedown Street
Jan. 10, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

I listened to this really loud and I would suggest to anyone doing the same.
