Long, patient, mellow version.

What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Jerry's first solo puts this one over the top

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Finally scooped this on vinyl and my god, this second set holds up perfectly. Over an hour of top tier playing and perfect setlist choices. It starts with this all-timer Scarlet > Fire, which has literally everything you could want from this famed jam vehicle. Precise Scarlet with fluid dreamy transition, absolutely scorching Fire solos - this version is transcends.

Cow Palace

First ever and surprisingly good, with a different type of sound. They don't hesitate to let it breath a bit after the verses, with some communicative playing (relatively speaking in duration - I think it tops out at ~7 min, but not bad at all for the first time played)

Good Bobby chaw on vocals, Jerry swirls in beautiful leads to close. Choice
Deal

Community War Memorial Auditorium

As with all others of this time period, this doesn't have the '89-'90, Jerry shred your face completely off and you are left shattered and in awe-type jamming at the end, but this one has great energy and a tight punch of a peak to close.

This one really cooks along with some serious energy. High quality Straw
