One of my favorite pieces of the Grateful Dead.

Powerful combo in the middle of one of my favorite second sets. Powerful drums, and listen to Garcia give that diminished chord a workout!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Glad to see this version getting some love. I still prefer 05-08 for certain moods, but this show is at least Barton's equal. This "S > F" rages throughout. Jerry plays several compelling choruses before they move to the transition, Donna is subtle (her and Jerry are playing off each other?), and listen for the way Garcia slowly brings in the envelope filter (auto-wah) to build through the transition. He hits those big "duck quack" chords on beats 2 and 4 at first (like a reggae feel), but then switches right to beats 1 and 3. I picture him grinning on stage, making a room full of sweating college Heads lurch. Also, Phil eats the transition for breakfast.

Kicks off a great "PITB > Drums > Wharf Rat > PITB" sandwich.

Can't add much more from what's been said, so give it a listen!

I love all the "Jeds" from this run. I still prefer 05-12, but this is cut from the same cloth.
