Phil drives the first couple of verses, pushing hard against the band’s tempo. Slide Bobby.

poignant singing from Bobby, and the whole band pours it on during the solo break. Note the drummers especially. Top notch version.

Not Fade Away

Fillmore East

Yeah, this one smokes!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 20, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

holy crap, this really is *that* good. Massive version. Crowd goes nuts during Scarlet as Jerry cuts open early and never lets up. First-flight Scarlet with a killer transition and enough goo to construct a home for you and your family. And then the Fire.

Wow, monster pairing with a beastly Fire!

Oh wow, how have I never heard this before? Monster performance, Jerry's giving it his all vocally, and the > from a great Star just make everything better.

Hofheinz Pavilion

Overshadowed from the night before, and not nearly as intense, but still a great performance from a year of them. Lots of slow, cool, exploratory lines, and Jerry kicks a few riffs around that make everything very interesting. Fall '72!
