Mountain Jam

Grand Prix Racecourse

Not sure what constitutes a "Mountain Jam" but this is a jam in the mountain and it's fantastic stuff. Garcia soars w/ that '73 tone, Lesh is on fire.

Real nice groove to it throughout. Garcia comes in blazing with that stanky early 80s tone at start of the short jam. Fine one.

Fun cap off to a real good Red Rocks show. Phil sounded so good in the mix this entire show.

Also their first performance since the death of Elvis, just a month prior. They begin with an Elvis classic, Promised Land.

You know they were ready to duke it out during this drums section with all that energy they’ve been bringing this show. I was real excited to hear this drums and they BROUGHT IT!! This is some of the best drums I’ve heard from these boys, no joke. Real dark magic and awesome sounds emanating from this one.

This one is MAJOR! This whole show is major!! Killer dancing. garcia is throwing down some real creative disco runs, sending the crowd into boogietown. Drums have had awesome energy this entire show. The band sounds so righteous and professional with explosive energy.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Fuck this is a nice Fire. Cool, calm, and collected. So remarkably well-executed by everyone involved. Then comes that final jam and, oh, that tone just screams at you. Keith rarely chases Garcia’s leads with his piano, which I like, but here he plays it and it sounds great during the jam. Then Garcia runs away into oblivion and everyone is in an absolute frenzy. HUUUUUUGE ending jam here that wraps up perfectly.
