Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Great eleven-esque stuff that DJ crossfades into this marvelous Eyesie. Skimpy yes, think of the blazing short 78 TO1, and groove on this greek upper

euphoric, first-rate, gorgeous and thick. Resumes the tidal magnificently opulent warmth of PITB with the grace of liszt or bach.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Hot. Symphonic, restrained but rhythmically layered like a Steve Reich transition which perfectly complements the raucous song sections, full of that trademark 78 out of control, anything can happen flexibility. no one person gets off anything too crazy but check out keith coiling around stuff and Phil's lines and before long it all adds up to something incandescent.

choice. got the motors humming for this one which is the last of 17 versions from the 80's (and only 40 from 1974 until this). maybe the lyrics were just too "on the nose" if you will for these colombia's-finest-fuelled years. Jerry sitting pretty on top of this whole show in maraschino drip.
