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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

Bridge jam kills, transition jam is an absolute freight train rolling. Great Scarlet, sticky Fire. Winner all around. A must-hear.

Doesn't get the same love as 11/17/73, but it should.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 30, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

Yeah, shameful that this is single-digits. Really like this combo. Bobby's work stands out here, but everyone is in fine form. Transition jam more than satisfying and has its own character. Maybe the deepest sleeper on the board.

Field House - Seneca College

No-brainer upvote. Wicked, explosive outro jam that transitions nicely into St. Stephen.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Agreed that this show is somewhat overrated, but this version gave me a new appreciation for Jimmy, which I never really got into much before. Long and trippy and Jerry's slide is majestic.
