The Sportatorium

At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

Wow. Opens the 2nd set in the best year of the Wheel... Donna was awesome! This tune was hers in '76....

Hell in a Bucket
Nov. 6, 1987
Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Estimated Prophet

Yowza!!! 4 minutes in, the madness begins. It ends as Bob says this one's for Marley and they head into a powerful He's Gone.
Shakedown Street

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

So groovy!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 12, 1981
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

After Bobby and Jerry trade sweet licks in a hot Rooster, the jamming builds in this smoking China-Rider.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Never grow tired of this version. Never. Not just the best of the Fall of '77, this is a top ten version all around, ever. The length of the Fire is less important than the intensity, and this one burns!!!
Alabama Getaway

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Excellent.
