Excellent version. Bobby brings it for the finale and the whole band thunders behind him on target throughout.

Folks, you need to hear this one. It's absolutely gorgeous. Great interplay between Jerry and Vince on the solos and the whole version oozes soul.

Obligatory, but fun nonetheless.

The first thirty seconds with Airto Moreira are blood curdling. Terrifying, trippy stuff. Handle with care.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 11, 1982
West Palm Beach Auditorium

This is the most underrated of the underrated. From end to end, this one absolutely kills. I've yet to hear another one like it.

I finally got around to listening this one in full, with no distractions, on my lunch break. I really wrote off this one for awhile as overrated, but while there are some that should still be higher, this one more than holds its own. No, it doesn't have the same volcanic peak of 10/14, and the "Scarlet" alone is indeed kind of a throwaway, the end jam of "SB" into the totality of "Fire" is unmissable. Jerry tears it up with the MIDI and conjures truly unique, remarkably creative flavors for 1995. I'm glad I gave this one a second chance.

One of my favorite versions. Bobby's gutsy with the vocals and the jam is excellent.

How did this one slip through the cracks? Extremely tight, endlessly creative, beautiful work from both Jerry and Brent. If 7/7/89 and 3/22/1990 have well over 100 votes, this one can easily hang with them.

Jerry's vocal on this one is of another world...his out of nowhere belt on 'when the WALLS caved in' is spine tinglingly soulful.
