Great end to a big combo.

Swirling organ and guitar. Raw energy.

Deal

Madison Square Garden

Ender to a very good first set. Jerry in fine form vocally, and he and Marsalis and musical in their sparseness.

Dark and moody version. Phil. The full ensemble drop into the minor for the solo break.

Is this the right date, cuse man?
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Holy shit, how was this not on here already?! Great spot!
Jack Straw

Nassau Coliseum

Incredible version on its own, and for the transition to "Franklin's."
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

The groove they hit in the middle of that is unreal.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Oct. 9, 1976
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

IMHO, I prefer this one to the two May versions listed above, and the Franklin's is just jubilant. The transitions around and between these tunes are incredible as well.
