Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

is this a sleeper pick for the best one of all time? Could be. This crystal-clear scarlet is the kind of thing that can put millions of deadheads all over the globe into a happy trance instantly. But the kicker in this 77 pairing is a broad, expansive fire on the mountain that's punchy fusiony and chill, the vibe on this fire on the mountain basically invents the jam band genre. I love the Donna years. Her ethereal jamming on the transitions and Keith's whimsical ravings, Phil's grenades, filling in the gooey guitar and drums tracks. All cannons.
