What a ride. They are so loose and fierce during the post-lyrics jam.

Capitol Theater

The song is power-chord heavy! And Jerry is excited to sing it, too! Lots of power driving this song.

Christ, how much coke did Jerry do before they came back for the encore? HA! What an amazing version.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Capitol Theater

This version is just so damn tasty. The Scarlet takes you on the most delicious roller coaster ride; the ups and downs of the journey make it such an excellent experience, that you almost forget that FOTM is about to explode on the scene! Love this version!

I'm not a huge fan of this, or any of the Bobby cowboy songs actually (too overplayed), but this one just sizzles. And how it's sandwiched between the delicious Other One trilogy, is enough to satisfy.
