Excellent bridge. The band extends and extends and never loses their way. Very heady version.

I love the jam on this one. The interplay between Jerry and Brent is excellent. This is the start of a real face melt pre-drums.

Great '84 jammin'. Jer stays on the edge of the tracks almost dropping off and the jam goes on and on.

Jerry's voice. Wow. This version is basically studio ready. Phil drops a few well-timed bombs. Just a sweet version all around.

This is a class A rock and roll solo for the Jer Ber in this version. Wow! '81 was tight as it gets tight.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 8, 1979
Capitol Center

The B3 solo in Fire - love it. Could of used more of that actually. Great stuff.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

If this version doesnt have you smiling, I dont know what to tell you. The energy from every member of the band is palpable, Brent's keys, Phil's bombs, the drummers thunder rolls, Garcias fills and Bobby's vocals with high energy screaming, comes together and makes this one a must listen to for all Heads.
