Nice, over 10 minute version. Its obviously a warm-up to the 77 versions, but this one has some great moments.

Unique LIG here. It is more chill, but well jammed. Its good, just different.

This is an excellent version and definately competes with the May 77 versions. This DP has a lot of good stuff.

A nice 10 minute meaty FOTD. This show needs to be listened too. Maybe not a crazy setlist, but some epic playing.

I know its just a jam, but this DS is well developed and is as good as any of the shorter DS's of the 90's.

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.
