Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

Cream of the crop, top shelf Scarlet<Fire. Easy to tell Garcia is in the zone. Lucid, flowing, and fabulous version.

Classic Eyes<China Doll. Nearly all of the versions from 73' are great, but this is one of the best.

Fillmore East

Americana at its finest. Slow, mellow, rewarding, clean, polished, and homey. One of my favorites.

Dancin' in the Streets

Fillmore East

A case could be made for this being the finest version ever.

Awesome version and Garcia's voice sounds great.

Pigpen sounds awesome in this. He was a really great blues singer, and that fact is exemplified in abundance throughout this great show.

Absolutely charged, Garcia steps on the throttle, and never slows down until he slams the breaks to let Pigpen speak. Straight ripping guitar, and a legendary rap. What more is needed from a Good Lovin', a classic performance, and the prototypical heady version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

Majorly underrated version. Awesome transition and sick jamming.

Great powerful and intense version, the St. Stephen tease is awesome. Pure fire.
