Jerry spaces on the lyrics, but the jamming is not to be missed.

Estimated Prophet
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Sorry, but I just don't see how this version is at the top of the list. Besides a few standouts, IMHO this song really didn't catch fire until the fall of 77. A good version, no doubt, but nowhere near the best.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 18, 1978
Uptown Theatre

High energy transition with lots of great noodles from Jerry
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Jan. 31, 1978
Uptown Theater

Super sweet transition jam...this is seriously underrated.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 9, 1981
Activity Center - University of Colorado

Absolutely blissed-out jamming in the transition.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

This Saint brings the RAGE!!!! Probably the hottest version I've ever heard, and the Jerry space jam at the end is really cool. I agree, a fantastic 2nd set.
