This is when I thought the show locked in.

Reno Centennial Coliseum

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1983
Hartford Civic Center

Bump for the organ part! For those of you indifferent about Brent, listen to that riff/tone, and tell me you don't hear the obvious influence he had on Jerry's playing/sound. Also, this has one of most musical of the whole band transitions > Fire that you will hear.
