Jerry trying to untie one of his "knots" really tears into this version.

One of my favorite versions. When they open with a Bertha like this, you know you're in for a hell of a ride.

It's sooo cliche, the "I can't believe this version isn't represented" but it truly applies here. Incendiary LIG from an amazing show.

Let It Grow

Berkeley Community Theater

Grate Pick! Heavy Duty LIG in a rockin' Berkley show that begs for the matrix treatment.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

This has been one of my pocket shows for years. Great S>F and the Hunter-Seamons matrix really makes it shine. Whenever I see Hunter's name in "other copies", that's the show I'm grabbing or replacing. He's got a FB page where he releases new matrix recordings: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulDeadTrix?fref=ts

Was just watching this video on Youtube. Interesting transition from Estimated...... almost like they're getting on the train into drums> space but Jerry pulls them back into the Station.
