Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University
Heavily disagree w/ that sylvan-- your saying that makes me think you generally just dislike '77 Keith, which is understandable. Sure his playing through the transition into fire might not be super flashy, but it gets the job done and it's by no means grating or unlistenable. I'd say his performance through the verses of Scarlet is A1 however. That recurring little circular melody he plays at 3:06 & 6:36 is just beautiful. He also accents Jerry's scarlet solo perfectly, so I would disagree that he sucks in this version, at least not in scarlet.
