Row Jimmy

Intense and electrifying, highlighted perhaps by Jerry’s vocal performance. Another amazing June ’76 Row Jimmy.

Hot early version with a well-developed Jerry-led outro jam. Check out the amazing Joann Walker recording.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Knickerbocker Arena
My only complaint? The Fire, although hardly slight at 12 minutes, sounds like it could have gone on for a few more. The inspiration is seemingly right there.

This is a few clicks better than "standard." I can think of lots of versions -- from years that are better than '93 -- that don't have this kind of flow or overall impact. This is tight, groovy Grateful Dead with generous, tuneful, animated contributions by Jerry. A recommended jam to sample from a generally strong Knickerbocker run.

Check out the Seamons matrix. I certainly don’t recall the official release sounding this good. Now I’m giving this whole run a closer look.

Wow! Brent and Jerry sound they’re playing funeral music at one point. Really weird, which is a good thing.
