Brown Eyed Women

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.

Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

1984 audience only standalone Scarlet (touch) at Red Rocks. Great solo, excellent transition.

10 minutes, on YouTube and worth a peek in b/w scarlet>bucket and terrapin.

Out of Scarlet Begonias to open the second set, with some teases of the song in the transition.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 30, 1979
Stanley Theater

Jerry goes back to the bridge mistakenly after the first solo break – which is the better break of the two. The transition is fiery, but my favorite element has to be Brent's sound right as FOTM starts. The Fire is short a verse, but both breaks are perfectly solid. Jerry usually lands on his feet like a cat when a mistake is made and he does here.

Then vote for it, Batman. This one has had 5 votes for a year. I guess no one listens to this one because it's an A- AUD and the previous night's SBD gets all the attention.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Dec. 19, 1978
State Fairgrounds Coliseum

I looked on setlist this AM and this was the only halfstep I could find that was ever played in Mississippi.

This one is beautiful - nice call. I know those '78 Jeds from TN, but I'm delighted to find this Halfstep from MS from the same year. Keith and Jerry play along with one another well during the Rio Grandeo sections.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

This supplication is smoked. It shuffled up at the beginning of a run today and I got all fired up. I don't see how it can be played any much harder than this. I know that there are dozens of great ones out there - for the life of the pair and even some nice supplications post coma - but this one belongs at or near the top.
