Jerry swings for the fences with his vocals at the end of this one. Sweet version

This exemplifies why i come to this site. Jam is spot on. Beautiful vocals, bluesy filthy guitar, then a hypnotic guitar/piano jam to close. Very choice and up vote for sure!

Keith is the hands down MVP of this version, hitting a cascade of tinkling ivories. Very, very heady!

Band is having a ton of fun with this version, nearly shouting the lyrics. Super slinky, rollicking tempo. Very choice

Dap on this one, Jerry definitely takes his time and climbs to goodness in this.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

Firstly, WOW. Great, great S>F. Definitely needs more upvotes. As many mention, the wind up at the close of Fire is tremendous - raw energy, boys are locked, cocked, and rocking. But, preceding this is a delicate, well crafted Scarlett, which deserves dap. Several times the jam is brought to a whisper. Very purposeful, thoughtful version. All around, incredibly strong S>F and begs further attention
