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

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.

They Love Each Other

Funky is right. This is a great slice of uptempo Smokey Robinson-esque R&B. Great early version!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Mosque

It’s this high because people like it. Nothing more complicated than that. Even though I wouldn’t put this version in my top 10, I find this one to be SUPER enjoyable throughout, hence my upvote. You don’t need any more reason to give it a thumbs-up. I’m sure most people here would say the same. That’s the thing about taste…it’s always subjective.

Philadelphia Civic Center

Wrong date. This was played on the 19th, not the 20th. There's a reason it's not listed here.
Wharf Rat

Philadelphia Civic Center

Again, this song wasn't played on this date. It's from the 19th, not the 20th. Filler on Dave's 35.
The Wheel

Philadelphia Civic Center

Because this song wasn't played on this date - it was played on the 19th, and included as filler on Dave's 35.
