Real meaty version by everyone. I like these 1979 ones more than the 1977 versions. Just as tight, but meatier.

Really hot music here from an epic show of 1979. I am really surprised this isn't on here yet.

My favorite version to start of a perfect post-drums to an epic show.

Some of the best deals come from the 90'S. Almost 10 mins and Jer at his best.

Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

I don't usually write more than 3 words, but this deserves more than I wrote before. It comes out of the most definitive Ollin as Phil leads the way into Fire. It has a super slow groove in the beginning prior to the first verse. The first Jam is fine, but the second has grit/power as Phil is thumping fast and hard. Not to mention that the whole band is firing. I recommend the release as the mix is perfect as you can hear each member individually and as a whole. The Jam stops on a dime as they make their way to the third verse. The third Jam is smoked and then it has the cool transition to IKO. Few things to mention: This version is like no other or even close as it has a unique groove that I can't explain. Jerry's vocal are perfect. It's definitive for me as a stand alone and the Ollin>Fire>Iko is just some of the most off the hook stuff. I know this version has 16 votes, but If you haven't listened to this...you are seriously missing the fuckin boat.
