Fire On The Mountain
July 13, 1985
Ventura County Fairgrounds
I was at this show and I can attest that a fire was literally burning in the hills above Ventura, and wildfire smoke was in the air as they played. The boys responded in kind by not only pulling off a smokin' (see what I did?) version, but dropping it as a stand alone first set song. My buddies and I made a lot of great memories at the many Ventura shows we saw. Possibly my favorite venue to see the Dead back in the day.
