Simple Twist Of Fate

Keystone

One of the better up-beat versions. There are some serious high octane jams in this version. Not the slow down trodding version here.

I'll have to agree with the first comment. This is the "music plays the band" at its finest. It is what the Dead are all about. Seek it out.

This my favorite show I attended. The song is still in its infancy. Nice early rendition. Nice show. Seek and smile.

This California deadhead is happy to say - I was at this show. Though it was a long time ago, I'll have to give it another listen and cast my vote. I sure did not expect to see it at the top of the heap.
Spanish Jam

Good jam here. The real shine comes in as it transitions into the rockin intro to U.S. Blues.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Memorial Coliseum

An all time favorite. 5/8/77 is a little too main stream for me. 5/17/77 soars just below the radar. Jerry's quacking duck in the transition is far out. Crank it up! Whole show smokes.
