Might As Well

Memorial Coliseum

A tad abrupt on the ending but a fun one! They played a mighty swell one the night before so they probably figured 'might as well' play it again

If you like listening to Jerry play then you'll like this Franklins, straightens out a somewhat sloppy start of the show!

The BIGGEST Railroad Blues!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

This should be way higher on the list! I always loved how Jerry skips the verse about "aint nothin wrong..." and heads straight into the solo after the classic ascending guitar riff which normally precedes said skipped verse. Perfect ascension into the jam
