Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Tempo is too fast but Jerry's playing in the jam is sick.

Uptempo version with Jerry on fire.

Winterland Arena

One of the great things about Jerry is his fuck it attitude when he forgets lyrics. Here he goes into an extended, unique solo. When he does sing there's an interesting sad quality to his voice. Coda is burning.

They sound happy to be back
Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Everyone sounds great here. Love the chromatic intro. This show is underrated because of the mythology of the Dead blowing the big ones. The first show was awful, the second one was bad, and this one was awesome.
