A Keith-heavy version with a tight groove and a full sound. Love these early versions!

This one's somehow not on here? The classic opener to Dick's Picks 35, and a MONSTER of a version.

Simply beautiful. A gorgeous version of a gorgeous song. Jerry's solo is particularly powerful.

Entitled "Silver Apples of the Moon" on Infrared Roses - it's a Bruce and Vince duet that beautifully segues into "Dark Star"

The DRUMMERS...holy hell! They help elevate this peppy version. Great guitar work too - a highlight of the first set!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Madison Square Garden

Phil's doing some really creative stuff with this one. Odd and offbeat, but REALLY cool.

Bobby's guitar sounds excellent complementing Jerry's solo. I really think it's the reason why this one is so powerful, and it's a reminder of the chemistry they both had.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Gorgeous one. Jerry sounds amazing. A great encore and a fitting end to a good show.

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Perfect in every way. This one is a fireball of energy, and easily my favorite. It's not even close.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

A little ramshackle, but VERY creative and has tons of goodness in the transition jam and Fire.
