Very strong version with lots of slinky Jerry guitar. Ending builds up nicely.

Absolutely hypnotic jam out of Estimated, Jerry is insane. Too bad this is no longer on the Archive.

Absolutely incredible jazzy and flowing jamming on this version. Top notch stuff and might be the best of the year. This whole 2nd set is one of the best of all time!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Broome County Arena

Yes, there are certainly a number of blown lyrics, but if you can hear past that, I think this version has a wonderfully subdued, lilting and jazzy transition, one of the best of the period IMHO. The Fire also contains some very hot playing.

Incredible version, the final jam peak is INSANE!!

Easily the best spring 77 version - very hot jam and the first ever pairing with Eyes.
