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.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 20, 1990
Madison Square Garden

Easily the best of the Hornsby/Welnick era.....might be the best second set of the 90s, depending on my mood.
Morning Dew
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Cornell 77 is probably the most noteworthy and controversial show because of the "best ever" tag. Opinions widely differ on that judgment. But this Dew imo is absolutely deserving of the top spot. Its not even close. Even after hundreds of plays, when Jerry belts out the final "guess it doesn't matter anyway", I'm left thinking "did that just really happen?"....and then I fall back to earth. Stunning and spiritual.
