A nice late era gem. Jerry's playing is exceptionally tight in this one.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 12, 1980
Memorial Coliseum

Great Scarlet, but the rails seem to come off the tracks during FOTM. Jerry and the band seem lost in this one. Plenty of missed lyrics and vocal flubs abound. Jerry pulls it together towards the end during the final guitar solo. . .somewhat.

Seek this version out now! Authoritative and intense. This may be my new favorite version of this song. The jam that starts around the 7 minute mark is spectacular.

Really nice version, with a great peak.
They Love Each Other

Civic Center

This version has a great bounce to it.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
July 31, 1974
Dillon Stadium

This one rages just as good as any version from '77. Drops into a nice IMHBTR.
