Everyone takes turns taking punches in the end, extremely well played!

Easily the best one I have ever heard, the outro is long and lazy and dominated by Jerry instead of Bobby on slide, check it out!

This is very tight and balanced, it almost sounds rehearsed...

Very weird, intense version, sounds to be a a theme of a wild west action comic book cartoon?

Bob Weir guitar at it's best. This needs more votes.

Nothing from '82-'90 comes even close to this. Jerry gives the cyclone state one hell frenzied whirlwind to end the jam!

This one needs more love. Just watch Bruce trying to keep up. Weir's guitar playing is A+ on this - love those trumpet licks!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Just try to ignore those sweet repetitive licks during transition into Fire. As much as I dig this S>F, the Scarlet is pretty standard - this S>Fit might not even crack the top 5 for the year(4/16, 4/24, 5/11, 11/18, and 12/31)This Fire is great for Donna and Bobby slide guitar fans. Have no shame admitting that this show just might be my #1
