Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center
Nice “Scarlet,”with inventive Garcia playing. Nice drone from Phil in the final minute of the transition. > short but well executed, with a chordal riff from Jerry I don’t recall hearing anyplace else. Unbelievably mellow start to the third pairing of these two songs. Jerry hits it hard with the Mutron solo, and the vibe is so relaxed here. Get the Seamons matrix, it’s perfect!
