Pretty version that starts off the run of great Jerry ballads for the night...FOTD. So many roads. High time. SOTM.

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

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.
