An excellent shreddy version from '87. Jerry really lets loose.

Worth a listen, Jerry noodles around with Cumberland Blues before > to drums.

Chill version with a really cool dark Dear "Prudence-ish" jam into drums.

The show is just ok, but this Jerry solo out of Space into The Wheel is certainly worth checking out.

Highly enjoyable with a nice tempo and great energy. Some will be surprised by how good this version is.

Unique and worth seeking out. This space is way tripped out.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Scarlet includes a fiery and energetic segue into FOTM, that gives way to even more fiery'er shredding. Good preview of what was to come in the great year of '87 Dead.

I like the way this version echos throughout the venue creating beautiful soundscapes.

This may be my new favorite version. Love the flow of this one. It has that extra little bounce that '77 versions seem to have.

This version is not the best ever. Not sure if it's the technical difficulties or what but they don't even seem sure how to end the song at this point.
