Not a song I love, but this one has fire to spare. I love this show.

Gorgeous, lilting version with a transcendent solo. Brent is great on the keys, too.

On the war path for this show now. This is a fun, spritely version with great work from Jerry.

Thoroughbred version! Comes galloping out of the gate like a champ and never lets up. Part of a monster set 2.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 19, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Agreed, this is the best "Scarlet -> Fire" I've heard from 1992-93, which overall wasn't a strong period for the combo. It's better than the absurdly ranked 9/13/93, though both don't deserve more than 10-15 votes overall.

The way this one is played, the rhythm or whatever, sounds more like a 1970s' "Scarlet," it has that swing, that lilt that 1977-78 versions have. Cool version.

Not bad at all for a song played, what, four times since 1986? Vince does indeed crush it here.
Baba O'Riley > Tomorrow Never Knows

Vince's vocals aside, this is the best version.
