Jerry blows a verse, but the solo is good. Nice playing from Keith.

A bit slower than the others I’ve heard from this month, and I think the song works better this way.

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.

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