Pretty smokin estimated for 1995. Comes in at 14 minutes and has a great middle Jam.

This Jed was epic at the Pyramid.

Everything was played to perfection this evening, including this El Paso. This song just adds to the great flow of this maybe best show of 1977.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Now that its being released... should get some upvote. Not to be nitpicky, but the pre wind and the willows jam is just ok and the transition is solid and melodic, but nothing crazy. The Fire is top shelf, tho. So after 20 listens to this... My go to for 77 is 5/17.
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

16 minute version in a great wharf rat year. This whole show is under-rated.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
June 22, 1985
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Huge build-up in Saint. One of the most killer versions of this combo.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Another great version from this era. Only thing from the first set that really gets me going.

Honestly, most of this first set bores me like Fresno 74 release. There is so much of this 73-74 stuff released which is great, mostly for the second sets. Yes...the China>Rider is worthy.
