Delta Center

The "Drums" is lovely and has a tropical vibe, "Space" is nice and eerie.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

I said this above but I still don't see how 9/13/93 or 3/23/95 are ahead by so many votes.

Meadowlands Arena

Terrific version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 4, 1991
Richfield Coliseum

Still the most underrated "FOTM" in the history of "FOTM"s.

I actually used to think is one of the few weak points in the show. Compared to some of the better 1991 versions (3/21, 6/7, 6/19, 6/25, 9/4 ) this one doesn't have anything too out of the ordinary nor does it climax the way I like my "FOTM"s do. But as a more subdued version in tribute to Graham, it works.
Samba In The Rain
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

Vince's diction is often awful and trying to figure out what he's singing the first several times I heard it is a big part of why I hate it. The lyrics are also pretty embarrassing, all the more so when you realize Hunter wrote them. I wonder if he did it just to spite Vince, because Hunter obviously hadn't lost the plot when it came to writing for Jerry ("So Many Roads," "Days Between").
