Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Interesting outro riff by Brent in the intro. And Bobby mixes this one up with great effect, e.g. the deliberate two-chord hits in the transition. He propels the Fire in similar fashion. The Scarlet is also one of a good handful without the “ain’t nothin’ wrong” verse which, in some interpretations, signals the eagerness to just play.

This one hasn't sunk in yet. It's MASSIVE. The muddy copy on the archive won't do it. You've got to listen to the whole NFA>GDTRFB>NFA DP 26 version. I've upped it to 5, only. Should be near the top, IMO. Wow.
The Other One

Winterland Arena

Thanks for highlighting this. Great period – they're both eager to jam and patient to let it develop…
