After 10/29/77 this should be your go-to BP. Emotion oozes and Jer shreds the outro.

A breezy bouncin' bubbly Bobby Beat it...best of the 90's.

Jerry in serious bluegrass mode. Most country-westernized version ever. At the end Phil sez "Thanks, Texans" even tho' they're in NYC. Awesome version

Hornsby gets on board in a big way & Jerry jazzes up the jam sections. Weir slashes away & sings w/passion. Strong candidate for Best of the 90's.

This song was only as good as Bobby was committed to it, and on this night he was 100% in Dylan-idoling mode. Gorgeous rendeition, lovingly sung.

First BP I ever heard and still one of the best. Agree with hypnotic as a description. While it lacks the monster outro section of later versions its melancholy feel and atmospheric mellow blues persona can't be beat.

Hesitant to add my vote (but did) because I like where this is on the list right now & wouldn't want to see it rise above too many others (esp. 5/11/77 or 11/2/77) because it's just got too many rough edges to be in the upper echelon. On the plus side Jerry doesn't panic when he misses the "rings on her fingers" line at the very beginning and instead takes a quick round before picking it up a bit later and that gives this one a bit of a unique personality and doesn't detract from what becomes a very good Scarlet with a nice jam into wind in the willows. The segue to Fire is mellow, laid back, with a short burst of Jerry that re-fades into a softer flow drifting into Fire. I do take umbrage with Jerry's total butchering of the lyrics, though. I realie it doesn't bother some but he can't deal with either of the two verses here and does his mumbly Joe thing, which really detracts to my ears. Yes, he does mitigate the damage by crushing the solo after verse one. The outro is good, not spectacular, with many above it on the list--and rightly so--offering better. but this one does have its flares of brilliance and a general benefit of that tight '77 sound and so it gets my upvote. Just hope it doesn't rise too far with a bump from being an official release in this instance.

This one starts out super-mellow but Garcia takes care of that in his first monster solo heading into the "got up & wandered" verse. It's a GD jaw-dropper & like the rest of this show the band is right there with him. Just another brilliant '77 here.

^^^^That would be a blast, but if you mean WI that is way beyond my travel range these days! (I did make the crazy drive out there in '89 though and boy was it worth it)!

^^^^Agree especially that this trounces 11/6/77 & I adore that show, but come on, objectively speaking this is miles above Binghamton and yet it sits below it on the list. Inexplicable. There is so much more confidence in both the singing and jamming here. Both versions now have official release sound quality to judge by. It's no contest...please get this one at least above Binghamton
