Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 3, 1978
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.
