Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Barton Hall - Cornell University

while this one is undoubtedly good, everyone hear needs to hear the nov 6, 77 version....simply stunning and should be much higher on this list. the fire from that show is especially notable
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Broome County Arena

this one needs to be higher, yes...jerry's ever soft, butterfly-effect runs from scarlet into fire are the best youll ever hear. trust me.
