This whole show just has it. The best versions of this song are played with patience into the bridge and the backgrounds are key. This ones a clinic.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 25, 1981
Stabler Arena

The band doesn't hint at the impending Fire at all during the bridge in to it, and the jam goes on as if it will have no end. It's unique and then the Fire is on FIRE!

What they get into at 10:43 could have gone on forever for me. Another great '81 Shakedown!
