They attack this one with a rare level of energy and precision. Nice showcase for Pig on Organ too.

Me and Bobby McGee
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle
There are too many versions I like better to give this one an upvote, but Keith's piano fills on this version are worthy of mention.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle
Jerry does some very cool chordal jamming in the transition jam that struck me as fairly unique.
Sugaree

Strand Lyceum
I really love this brief window when Keith and Pig are both playing actively. It's not the most epic version, but it does have fantastic vocals and a rich group sound on the instrumental portion.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 22, 1978
Winterland Arena
A cool version. As others have observed, it's quite mellow. But in that mellow space is a lot of creativity from Garcia/Lesh/Weir. The transition jam is full of delicate, unique passages — a pleasant energy current that runs through FOTM.
Franklin's Tower
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium
My controversial opinion is that Franklin's Tower can sometimes be a touch monotonous on tape. This version absolutely lays waste to that idea. Smoldering, energetic, varied... everything you ask for in a Dead song.
