One of those note-for-note perfect versions that leave you staggered and smiling. Just beautiful.

Not a song I usually get so swept up by, but on this one Jer's vocals are just perfect, capturing the sweetness and sorrow of the lyrics. A beaut.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

High-powered and tight. This show has nothing but complaints about the mix on the archive. Listen to the Ashley transfer, and see what you've missed.

Tomorrow Is Forever

Veterans' Memorial Hall

Such sweet harmony, such sweet sentiment - turning on a dime after the white-hot Dew. Shows the beautiful country chops Donna at her best brought.

Jam starts at around 05:45, never fully forms. Am I crazy? This sounds like NFBM and it continues about 3min into TOO. Very very cool stuff here.

Sweet and delicate with beautiful orchestration towards the climax. Donna and Jerry sound glorious in the outro.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

They get a slow start and Jerry flubs the lyrics in the Scarlet, but he more than makes up for it by going for the deep dive in the Scarlet jam before transitioning towards the Fire. The Betty Board is sublime, like everyone here sez.

Not a year that I'm very familiar with. I came to this show for the Dire Wolf, but it was this Peggy-O and that brilliant solo that spun me around. Very nice indeed.

Happy to blow your mind Aush. I dig your avatar.
Samson and Delilah

Tower Theatre

Perfect description. Now I'm a big fan of the one-drummer era, but I'm a deadhead from the Brent years and there are songs that are just gonzo-delicious for Bill and Mickey together. This is definitely a hot version and worth more than the 2 votes it has here.
