BEAM! Very trippy. This show is just amazing. Get the SBDMC>DAT>CDR source.

Scary freaking version with ghosty Donna wails. Nice transition into a tear-jerking Wharf Rat.

Just exactly perfect version with crisp Jerry leads and Reading Rainbow tone on Brent's piano. Superior '83 playin'.

An expert rendition. Jerry is using his crispy Rosebud tone. The band is tight, and Jerry sings it beautifully. My favorite latter-era tune.

Hair-raising 1st set opener. Phil is all over his fretboard. A unique performance with a lot of thick piano work from Keith. Driving drummers!

No one has mentioned the intro yet? Easily the coolest Jerry intro solo to FOTM. Mutron goodness.

My personal #1. Very unique Garcia solos and phrasing during the verses. Aside from the rather rough performance of They Love Each Other, the boys could do no wrong at this show! Epic first set.

Wow, this gets intense. Really good interplay between the band, and Bobby's loopy, staccato rhythm work is not to be missed (although Garcia will easily draw your attention).
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

I've been revisiting this show over the past few days after digging out my old CD set. I'm surprised at just how good this whole night is, especially the Scarlet>Fire. On-point playing from every member of the band.

19 minutes of pure funkiness. Goes deep.
