nasty 80's vibe on this. Jerry's vocals are in the zone. This is one of the 3 songs that Lesh said define the band.

Fillmore East

The cycle around the sun again guided by Mickey talkin' jive and the rotunda of low frequencies incurred by the hour long DS/Other One, enough in that for several "repastes"
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 27, 1977
Capitol Theatre

Replete with chordal texture and Phil bombs and Billy is so locked in. God damn it this is amazing grateful dead music. It's a leaner meaner and more nasty reading of Scarlet Fire than most of the chill af blissed out 77 versions. It's understandable that 77 gigs, especially from the spring, can get lost in the shuffle when there are so many. But this one we have footage of
