Let It Grow

Hampton Coliseum

Lightning quick yet totally on-track riffs from Jerry; intense, powerful version. Weir 100% into it. Segues into killer Deal. Trust me. Must hear.

Perfect wind up, pitch & strike down the middle. I've yet to hear a better one, though I'll try some of the recs here. Til then.....

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

@cgarces: Agree that Tuscaloosa has this one beat (by a nose). More I listen to 5/17 the more it amazes me. Have to agree to disagree about 5/8, though. A fine version, even very fine, but I put this and many others in May '77 alone ahead of 5/8. (I ranted about this in a longer fashion under the 5/8 posting if you're interested ;-)
Bird Song
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

Having been there I can attest--it's a winner.
Eyes Of The World
Oct. 9, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

Yes, Corals! Almost forgot about this one...so many 80's EYES were rushed and choppy--NOT here. For one of the few other slower, groovy versions of this year check out 4-3-82 from the Scope!
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Dec. 27, 1977
Winterland Arena

A worthy addition!
Bird Song

Phil: "This whole thing is a fraud--we're really clever androids."
