Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Best Scarlet of ‘84 for the 2nd totally outrageous Jerr solo alone, but the 4/13 Fire can’t be beat, even with Jerr going HAM this entire show + the super-smooth transition jam. I mean, it’s a week later, they were rolling…

Yeah! After that all-time + epic S>F, they keep it rolling and we get a great Estimated!

Very interesting version. Chill Scarlet with passionate Jerr vocals, but he ends his solo early, which is odd, cuz it feels like he’s just about to take off. The transition is all-time unique, and the Fire is really one-off + fun stuff. Fascinating + homegrown + comfy-Marin ‘84 Dead.

We get an all-time version in ‘84! Just weeks after 3/31, which portends what we get here, but this is off the charts. Certainly a better Scarlet, with a much more tuned-in Jerr doing his thing + everybody dialed. F*****g awesome + smooth transition. Then the Fire goes completely insane, with everyone going off, including Healy! WHOOOAAA!

Nothing dark at all about this beautiful + tender + sweet version. Pure joy…
