Unique segue into Cumberland Blues. A nice little adventure away from the normal Rider.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Scarlet includes a fiery and energetic segue into FOTM, that gives way to even more fiery'er shredding. Good preview of what was to come in the great year of '87 Dead.

I like the way this version echos throughout the venue creating beautiful soundscapes.

This may be my new favorite version. Love the flow of this one. It has that extra little bounce that '77 versions seem to have.

This version is not the best ever. Not sure if it's the technical difficulties or what but they don't even seem sure how to end the song at this point.

Worth the listen just for the highlarious fuck up in the beginning.
