Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

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

Giants Stadium

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

Fox Theatre

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

Oxford Plains Speedway

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

My all-time favorite version. Emotional, sexy, and rewarding. Everyone's playing their hearts out, especially Jerry and Vince trading licks all throughout.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

Such a full, rewarding, and life-affirming version. Not necessarily my favorite, but probably the one I've listened to the most. It puts me in a good mood every time I hear it...
Death Don't Have No Mercy
Jan. 26, 1969
Avalon Ballroom

Pine Knob Music Theatre

LOVE the instrumental work in this version. Perhaps my favorite version ever.

This one's a scorcher. Jerry's soloing is particularly great.
