Good version in an epic concert. One of the best bits of the first set. Second set is cosmic 73 stuff.

Deal
March 20, 1977
Winterland Arena

This needs more love. A great "Deal". Easily the best bit of the first set, and considering the votes for BIODTL, BEW, PPO, etc. from this first set, I can't see how you have not noticed this Deal.

When I got married in '81, my lady bride walked down the aisle to Scarlet Begonias. I just thought I would share that with other deadheads.

Just listened to this one again on the way to work today. Definitely one for the collection. Must be a top 5.

I used to think some of the Europe '72 ones were better, but I have changed my mind. This is my favourite (currently). Whether best or not, it is certainly top 3, and it is an object lesson in how to milk a crescendo without ever losing even a milligram of musical integrity.

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Yes, this is a wonder. A unique one-off version, and a must-have. Personally, I find the preceding IMHBTheRoses, and this TMNS to be a wonderful all-time-best segment, but the rest of this particular concert is not the stuff to make it a top-40 concert of all time.
