Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena
Agreed that this might be a hair better than 7/7/78, which is pretty good on it's own merits. Jerry is in total command on this one, both vocally (save for the requisite 2nd Fire verse fuckup) and on guitar (notice its him, not Phil, that leads the transition into Fire). Weir's slide is again a bit much, but it doesnt detract from Jerry, who is not to be denied here. Maybe slightly behind some of the giant 78 versions, but not too far.
