Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

View from the Vault IV. A fantastic standalone "Scarlet" coming out of a hot "Hell in a Bucket."

Both keyboardists are giving it their all in this triumphant version. The perfect tempo, and perfect energy level!

Not normally a big fan of this song, but Bruce Hornsby on accordion adds a lot of welcome texture to the mix

Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.

Brent is all over this one, and makes it a standout from a very good show.

All New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

It didn’t make the list because “All New Minglewood” is the arrangement of the song they used in the 80’s. The version from this show, which is just “New Minglewood,” is already on here.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

^ I know it, man. I’m surprised I had to even submit this one in the first place, I thought for sure it would have already been on here. In my opinion, it’s the best standalone Scarlet post-1977.
Touch of Grey

Capital Centre

Easily my favorite. The energy is off the charts. Phil and the drummers are totally locked in, and Jerry sounds great.
Jack Straw

Giants Stadium

FANTASTIC version. The vocal entrance following the jam is legendary, but the jam itself is just as hot. The drummers are really getting into it, too.
Morning Dew

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Jeez, Fool - If you like 11/2/85's Dew so much, go comment on that one instead of hanging out here. There's nothing wrong with people thinking this one's the best. What does it matter? Let them like what they want to like.
