Nice DP 20 here. The Playin' opener isn't quite epic, but this wheel is! Jerry starts with a cool little riff that just gets this perfect wheel goin

It sounds as if they are going into Fire at end, but it just doesn't get there. Listen. Agree. Best show of the tour and top 5 for the year!

Soulful came to my mind before I even looked to post.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

This is a unique version and very good. I still like Tuscaloosa and Iowa better. 10/14/1994 at 33 mins was best recent one. After more listens, probably not in my top 10. Bob's slide ruins the Fire.

2013 bonus disc. Aren't they all epic??? This version is hot, tho.
