Beautiful version from a totally unheralded show. Jerry's impassioned vocals in the verses blew me away.

Spacey, LONG, jam. There's a video, and you can see Bob smiling as Jerry somehow nails the last climax of the jam and they slam into the chorus.

Hot version - Jerry's guitar tone is thicker than it was in 94, he's totally present and playing some of those added riffs like in 10/12/83.

Lots of very under the radar shows in 82. This version is perfectly executed from start to finish - great end jam with huge finish.

Pretty hot version. Nice mid solo and shreddy outro that heads into a spacey jam. Great vince contributions and Jerry firing on all cylinders

There's an audience vid on youtube where you get to see Jerry really giving this version his all. Teeters on the edge of collapse the whole time; ragged but right.

Stunned by this. Not comparable to 1984 but seriously good out jam at the end. Jerry's hitting all the right notes.

Love this version. Jerry adds a little extra to the Franklin vocals.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 10, 1980
Warfield Theater

Love how Jerry sounds like it's 1977 again when he hits that perfect little "touch of the BLOOO-hoooz" before the solo. Great version, Jerry blows it and goes into a brief solo too early before the full scarlet solo.
It Must Have Been The Roses

Augusta Civic Center

This is my personal favorite. Incredibly soulful Jerry vocals and a gorgeous, simple solo that tugs at the heartstrings.
