Hardly a classic, but surprisingly not listed despite being on 30 Days 2013

This isn't on here? From this show? Pretty memorable version.

Caps off one of the most ballad-heavy shows in the band's history.

A nice contrast to all the ballads from this show.

Especially nice and up-tempo following a delicate portion of the show.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Aug. 12, 1981
Salt Palace

Too damn low. This melted away the troubles of my day. Chock full of unique goodies and rollicking energy. Transition into Fire is awkward but still cool; Phil just sort of hammers the band in with him, and what follows is an absolute scorcher. One of the best of the year.

Add me to the list of those who are confused by the low ranking. This rips! Everything I'm looking for from Jerry in the outro jam.

Happy to bump this into double digits. Transition jam is where it's at for me.

Agree 100%. This one's blistering.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

This one's bumped itself into my top 5. Easily on par with 10/14/83 and 4/20/84 which are both near or at triple digits.
