Silly version. Phil has fun with this one. Nice energy from the band too.

A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Great Scarlet, but the rails seem to come off the tracks during FOTM. Jerry and the band seem lost in this one. Plenty of missed lyrics and vocal flubs abound. Jerry pulls it together towards the end during the final guitar solo. . .somewhat.

Seek this version out now! Authoritative and intense. This may be my new favorite version of this song. The jam that starts around the 7 minute mark is spectacular.

This one rages just as good as any version from '77. Drops into a nice IMHBTR.
