Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Really good Fire which is a little dark in places, ok Scarlet and a transition jam that never quite manages to build up any steam. Another like it, don't love it version for me.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a version that grooves tighter than this. Doesn't drag anywhere. Agree that this is right there with Cedar Falls for best of the year, though I would add Jacksonville on 4/8 as another contender.

A must-hear for any Brent fan. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Ok version; it's most interesting element to me is the heavy-rhythm transition jam. Brent also adds some nice coloring. Still, this one didn't exactly blow my mind. 12/30/79 is a better choice from this era, which I generally really enjoy.

Solid showing all around, but Brent's work, especially on the transition jam, warrants an upvote. Works kind of a spooky, robotic vibe. This is only 16 minutes long but still feels complete.
