Bobby's birthday at the world famous Melkeweg. Yummy brownies make this version extra special.

Playin' In The Band

Baltimore Civic Center

DP #23 from Baltimore...yet another jazz exploration that winds and weaves and delights. More introspective than intense & quite worthy!

Scarlet Begonias
Aug. 4, 1976
Roosevelt Stadium

Fantastic 15+ minutes of standa-lone Scarlet featuring a very Phil-front bass section post-lyrics. Final jam section gets real jazzy, too.

From a hot steamy night in Texas an equally hot & steamy Terrapin, which melts into a great Estimated

Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Hidden gem! Jazzy mellow intro to fluid, energetic Garcia-led jamming. Cross-up on 'beaches & seasons" in 1st verse chorus- Phil yells "Get it right!"

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Copps Coliseum

^^^^ Finally, something we can agree on. Thanks for keeping it about the music.

Strand Lyceum

The only thing I disagree with in glynparson's drop-the-mic post above is 67-74 being the best...I go 72-77 myself, as for the rest, spot-on. I'd sure rather have today's economy than the one that was shedding 500,000 jobs a month during the financial collapse overseen NOT by the current president but by the train wreck before him. Still. I sure wish DH21 could stick to posting about the music here & post his ill-informed rants on a more appropriate venue.
Truckin'
April 26, 1972
Jahrhunderthalle

Yes, that was quite the inexplicable turn on a dime from whining about a version of Truckin' to an ill-informed political rant, or, to put it another way: worst. segue. ever.

Rainbow Theater

I'm gonna be a real broken record about this until somebody gets on board. If you claim to like this song and don't at least take the time to listen to this version you're doing them all a disservice.
