Milwaukee Auditorium

If a SBD of this version and show existed we'd all be talking it up. But the AUD is pretty good, & this RJ has tasty Garcia licks. Don't overlook it!

For the love of Jerry you MUST listen to this immediately. Cease all other activities and prepare to have your jaw hit the floor!

The Music Never Stopped

William and Mary College Hall

Seguing out of a sick Franklin's Tower it gets fast, flawless rolling licks from Jerry and great timing from the rest +killer final Jam

Baltimore Civic Center

Sweet end to a magical show. Perfect harmonies w/Brent. Only flaw is when Bob says "careful up there" to someone doin' somethin' werid in the rafters

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Talk about slipping through the cracks: This is a classic long, jamming sick slick trip thru both tunes. Intro to FIRE one of the best ever performed

Done & +1...heckuva show overall esp. the Dark Star>China>Rider but don't let it overshadow this PITB.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

^^^^ Finally, something we can agree on. Thanks for keeping it about the music.
Ramble On Rose
May 25, 1972
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.
Brown Eyed Women

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.
