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.

Interesting to hear this and compare it to how it developed later. No upvote because the end sequence is essential and this lacks one.

Love this one. Forgot about the Wheel sandwich, but was thrilled when I recognized the opening notes.

This is good, but not quite what it would become a few months later. Kind of reminds me of the first H/S/F in 75, where people have a "first one must be the best" attitude.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Have to agree that this is pretty average. 10/2 and 10/9 are both better in this month alone.

This one has indeed grown on me. This isn't too far off in terms of quality from 10/2, which I love. The only blemish is Jerry's forgotten Scarlet lyric, but that's easily forgiven. Good stuff here.
