Incredible jazzy transition into Supplication

He's Gone

Winterland Arena

I'm not a huge fan of this song after 74, but this version is just exactly perfect. Gave me chills!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

I'm surprised this one isn't listed yet. Although the Fire is only average, this Scarlet is one of the best unsung versions ever.

Swing Auditorium

If you dig 11-6-77, you'll love this. One of the highest-octane versions ever performed. Insanity.

Hot one from the night before Dick's Picks 16.

Ramble On Rose
Nov. 17, 1973
Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Probably the best version of the song IMO. Phil drops some serious thunder!
Wharf Rat
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

One of my favorites. A soaring version that caps off one of the best jam sequences of the year.

University of Nevada

Really HOT Truckin>Other One jam from an otherwise sub par show. Worth it to hear this one awesome segment though.
Truckin'
Sept. 9, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Energetic as usual for '74. The "Wood Green" jam out of this one makes it really interesting.

Providence Civic Center

Wild and hairy blues-rock jamming out of this one, with Jerry bending the hell out of the strings...one of the best Truckin jams ever, should be ranked higher!
