Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Sometimes in the darkness of a mid-Spring tour in 1983 the most predictable song played at the most predictable time is burning hot.

Beautiful, economical, expressive solo by Jerry
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 18, 1983
Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Staggering. Listen to the Jim Wise aud. Jerry's Scarlet solo is outrageous, Brent's playing is brilliant throughout, especially the marimba patch. Jam is super sparkly, dominated by Mickey's cowbell and Bobby's dog and cat noises. Listen to what Jerry starts to play at about 11:45. Fire is slow and dark. Agreed that Bobby's repeated vocal flub is great and should have been made part of the song.

Great interplay between Jerry and Brent
