Give it a listen. Actually think its better than all the great 1977 versions.

This show is one of the best and this UJB can hang with any. One of my favorite versions.

This one absolutely cooks out of Nobody's fault. Off Road Trips.

I know its listed as Dark Star, but its a true MLBJ. Great country twang to it.

This version is great too. Jerry gives a little more at end.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

The transition is totally cool out of Scarlet... Phil leads the way, then Bob throws in some licks I have not heard before and then Jer goes and then finally they all make their way to Fire. I definitely think this S/F is in the top half from the year.

This starts off an amazing show... overlooked by 11/11. I would recommend highly that everyone listen to this show. Numerous version need upvote such as the Playing, HCS, Eyes, etc to name a few.

Bobs obsession with slide guitar in 78 works here. Great interplay with Garcia. Top notch version. Should be if you are playing in Tennessee, tho.

Agree. Love the tone of the guitar this evening as Jer destroys this Jed. Easily one of the best.
