Playin' In The Band

Edmundson Pavilion

I'll need to give this one a few more listens I think. I found it to be quite boring. Not as good as the PITB that was played in Vancouver a few days prior.

Love Jerry's tone in this version. Sooo smooth.
Greatest Story Ever Told
June 24, 1973
Memorial Coliseum

Great scorching version! Nice mid 2nd set energy build combo with Bertha and played after a superb Stella Blue. Nice little discovery due to the Pacific Northwest boxset.
Bird Song

The jam on this version is really excellent. I'd call this a hidden gem. This whole show smokes.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 3, 1982
The Scope

The jam between Scarlet and FOTM is very unique, makes this version a must hear.
