Hardly a classic, but surprisingly not listed despite being on 30 Days 2013

This isn't on here? From this show? Pretty memorable version.

Caps off one of the most ballad-heavy shows in the band's history.

A nice contrast to all the ballads from this show.

Especially nice and up-tempo following a delicate portion of the show.

Friend of the Devil

The Palladium

This one's underrated. Great sound quality on Download Series vol. 1 doesn't hurt either.

Adams Field House, U of Montana

I know the pre-hiatus versions aren't as jammed out as they would later become, but I still enjoy them when they're tight like this one. Also really like Phil's goofy backup vocals.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Huntington Civic Center

Has some standout moments, particularly in Fire. This one is easier on the ears than 4/24. Good month for this combo.

Winterland Arena

I guess the Fire could be classified as ok, but this might be the worst Scarlet I've heard. A disjointed, abysmal wreck. I like this Winterland run just fine, but this is not a highlight.

Hofheinz Pavilion

Way underrated. The jamming is quite lyrical.
