Bobby totally blows the first verse and then they backslide into an incredible jam.

Yeah, this one smokes!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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.

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.

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!
