Franklin's Tower

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

This is the third and last installment of Dancin'>Franklin's. Cape Cod and Buffalo are both better, but this one is pretty cool too.

Cryptical Envelopment

Civic Auditorium

Drop everything and go to tapers section now and listen!. The 01 is an instant classic and this Cryptical has that classic 1970 build-up.

Go to Dead.net and listen on taper's section now. This is O1 is sick the way 1970 O1's are.

I hate this song, but this a great one!

Slow long version with nice solo at end. I think this one is so good due to the NFA before it and the smoking GDTRFB after.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Definitely up-vote worthy. They are firing on all cylinders on this one. Jer rips a new one at the end of Rider. Good call, Sleuth!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Great Scarlet>Fire here! Ur right...if DL would have published this one...It would probably be top 5. My beef has always been with the Mosque S/F and Estimated being ranked so high...likely due to it being his first release.

I will give those shows a listen. I know, one should not mention 94 around here...but I respect all the eras with some being more epic than others. With that being said....those 2 versions can hang in any era.

Totally agree with the above...seemed ho-hum, but then Jerry shreds a little.

Good call! Love that short bit of insanity. My unexpected gems are 3/27/94 Dew and 10/14/94 S/F.
