Strong Phil and great vocals version. Just so tight throughout. Triumphant version as the pre-end-jam-era versions go.

The band builds it up beautifully to the "Won't you tell everyone you meet" verse.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Jer is fired up with his delivery of these Scarlet verses and the band creates magic on this early version for this duo. Definitely a hidden gem version.
Not Fade Away

Winterland Arena

Wow. I missed this version all these years. This show may be most known for the Terrapin into Alhambra extended combination. But there is so much more including this insane NotFade. Think Cornell meets Englishtown. It's not singularly better than either but close to each and takes elements of both. it's real good stuff, and be prepared it's manic for sure.
