More good blues from this great early show. Check out Pig's harp solo too.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 19, 1994
Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon

Honestly wasn't expecting much from this version, but heard about it somewhere and decided to check it out. Short "Scarlet," the highlight (for me) was the acoustic guitar sound Garcia. "Fire" is nice and bouncy. Worth a listen.
Eyes Of The World

Winterland Arena

There is some really great playing here from every member separately and together. Agree about lyrics (Jerry blowing both lyrics and the guitar part in the preceding "Dark Star"—he also sounded *super* high when he was singing, so...). Still a great version, and the show is justly famous for many reasons.

This is *really* great. Fantastic find! The entire band plays as one this whole time.

It's got my vote too. Gotta go through the rest of this show later!
