Got more love here for this and all of Spring 1990. The boys were at the top of their game. Glad to see a bit of love for the later era on a site tending so much toward 70's era. Late 80's thru '90 is the best IMO. Jerry's playing was more sophisticated and mature and Brent...Love that Brent all the way.

A rare gem of a romance, played in a show with Franklin's, Roses, Peggy-o, and Jackaroe! A fine Jerry show.

Featuring nice clear vocals on this little gem of a romance tune. I always enjoy how Jerry finishes with those subtle, speedy repeating runs.

Gorgeous, chilling and haunting reading. The guitar solo is more developed than the 3-18-95 version. I was at this show. I enjoy the irony of GD + Utah, and skiing at Snowbird. They had problems with the mix and hearing it now through good headphones really brings it to life. The recording by Charlie Miller is the best in circulation. https://archive.org/details/gd1995-02-21.sbd.miller.114144.flac16
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Best Scarlet solo of the 80/90's, without a doubt. He is so precise and punctual, gradually building the intensity until he blows the roof off your head. Incredible.
