Snarling version to open set 2.

Gimme Some Lovin'

Frost Amphitheatre

Lovin' -> Half-Step to open. Punchy, rocking combo.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

This spicy version won't blow any minds but closes out a totally solid and enjoyable first set. Jerry's got the spices flowing for the Rider solo.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 13, 1993
The Spectrum

Not sure why this one is so high. It's a solid version, but it's not mind blowingly creaitive or unique. A reliably workman like version.
Dark Star

The Spectrum

For one of the 5 minute "Dark Star"'s that became the norm after 1992, this one is very enjoyable for what's there. Spacey, creepy version. The pre-Drums set at this show is pretty amazing.
Big Railroad Blues
June 21, 1980
West High Auditorium

Should be way higher. This version destroys.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 31, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

"Playin'" was not performed at this show, it was played on the 28th.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1984
SF Civic

This one is truly a spectacular version. The end of "Fire" is like no other, dirty and emotional.
