Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

Crystalline. gossamer and light, tremendous 77 chinadoll, late show placements work v well with the stew, make it all airy, goopy
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

amazing music, it's got that early 80's vibe in spades and they're having the time of their life on it. Slick and shiny, riotous and rambunctious, this is face-stealing!
Morning Dew

Salt Palace

glistening watercolor guitars. One of those shaking in ecstatic catharsis Dews... oh yes more pleas.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

holy cow they really go for it on the transition jam... Unhinged organic and beautiful, lesh starts fire on the mountain a minute or too two soon... vocals are crispy too... It's a super tight and energetic rendition of this pairing, yes indeed! Dude420, your comment is right on the money, Garcia going into really challenging territory all throughout this, Devils' graceful flexibility providing the necessary paperwork.
