I find headiness in every version of this song. I love this version with that tortured 1985 voice Jer had.

No problem with this one in the number one spot.

Super heady version that starts off 32 minutes of epicness in ANY ERA!
Playin' In The Band

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

I remember during this combo that there was amazing flow. I also felt like I was in small blues bar at the end of playin thru the samething. On an amusing note, Vince had no idea what the samething was...also funny that it was some of Vince's best work. I would like all the big hitter on this site to chime in on this epic trio. The whole show is great, but start here!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Agree with the above...there is sadness even in the S>F. With that being said I have always liked this version. The songs of the year for 1991 were S>F. Every version from that year is worth listening to aside from the shitty one at New Years.
