Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

I agree this version is rated a bit higher than others I prefer; nevertheless, this is a masterful rendition of the combo. Absolutely deserves the upvote.
St. Stephen
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

I'm a big defender of this show, but this Stephen doesn't belong here. Might be top 20.
Shakedown Street
June 30, 1985
Merriweather Post Pavilion

Was kinda skeptical an '85 vintage would deserve the top spot, but after a few listens I have to agree.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

My favorite part is when Phil first introduces "Fire" in slow motion. Even on DP you can hear the crowd react, like they've been waiting so long and it finally arrived.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 1, 1990
The Omni

Remember being at this show with a newbie-ish friend who finally "got it" when this combo rocked the omni. I'll never forget the look in her eye when it was over.
