The studio version from "So Many Roads" box set. Fantastic version featuring great harmony between Bobby and Jerry.

Always love Garcia's guitar dancing around the vocals in this tune. Listen to the scrub at the end of the first solo break!

Garcia piping in after "they all play on the penny whistle" line with "You can hear them blow!" is a spine tingler moment.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Barton Hall - Cornell University

There definitely is something catchy about this version or otherwise it wouldn't be talked about so much. It certainly is pretty and the transition is real nice. Definitely not my favorite, there are other versions to be reckoned with, but still, nonetheless, it's a very nice piece of music in it's own right. I dig it!

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The way I see it is 77 seems rehearsed and 78 is no holds barred. they hold back a bit in '77 and let it hang loose in '78. Could very well be more drugs...

Yeah I think they hit "11" on this one.
