1989 was a banner year for this song. Brent is on fire and Jerry is, well, Jerry. Killer version.

The symbolism of playing this one at Keith & Donna's last show makes this one significant. Great version.

Really strong version. Jerry's vocals are particularly sharp and playful here. Bobby and Brent deliver big here.

This "Bertha" is a blast and should be WAAAAAAY HIGHER.

Nice, laid back version. Not too weird. Cool debut for Brent here.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

Very easy to get lost in the "Fire," I had no idea it was going on for over 20 minutes. A really enjoyable, laid back rendition of the combo. 1983 is an underrated year. Jerry is in top form.

The only post-1992 version that registers with me. Despite being only eight minutes, this one manages to get pretty out there, moreso than the insulting five minute ones they were doing at the time. Good work from Murray, this is really a fine show all around.

Soldier Field

I get the historical and emotional significance of this performance, but it's nowhere near the 10/1/1994 version. Jerry's in so much better shape there and he belts the ending out with so much more power and his guitar playing is much strongers.
