How is this version not listed? Jerry is just cooking...late '73 style! The whole band during this whole show is just at their absolute peak!!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 17, 1992
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Scarlet is one of those songs that matured wonderfully over the years...and this one is excellent...love it when Jerry plays the opening riff forever before launching into the lyrics...the Fire on the other hand is marred by more Bob clang guitar sounds that add nothing musically and are annoying to say the least...
The Music Never Stopped

Would be wonderful version to vote for except...we get that whiny, clanging, Bob thing on guitar (Dec. '22)! Been a year since I listened to this version. Garcia flute solo mid song and the rest of this and the band is wonderful...but again the "clangy" Bob thing...reminds me of Donna destroying Playin in the Bands back in the 70's (Dec '23)!

Powerful version...Jerry has his spots where he gives leeway to the others...but make no mistake the Captain is in control!
Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Tight...the way this song should be played by the Dead...without too much Bobby yelping at the end!

Fun, tight, happy, jamming..."don't take much to get the word around"...
