Fine, fine 1989 version with a very enjoyable and weird jam into "D/S."

20 minute version with momentum and creativity galore. Held my attention the entire time.

Very cool soundcheck version released on the 2018 30 Days of Dead. It would've been cool if they busted out at this great Memphis show.

Jerry and Bob have some fantastic interplay throughout this one.

Seriously, this needs to be WAAAAAAAY higher. They play this song like their welcoming back a long lost friend. Keith is more alive here than he is in any other part of the show. Jerry's solo is the definition of torched and his fills are to die for. As good as many 1972-74 versions.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 26, 1990
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

One of those where you really can't find another one like it. This one's a real trip.

Carousel Ballroom

This early version reminds me of the Doors; Jerry even sounds like he's darkening his tone a bit to mirror Morrison a little. Really cool version.
