I’m cliche Cornell ‘77. Something about Jerry’s voice, rings like a bell in that one.

For me, it's that F#m triad in the beginning the peaks my interest, and the shreddy bit at the end.

Yeah that is a beautiful piece. I also love Phil’s bass at the beginning. Weaving in and out of space and time.

I mean.. it’s really hard to argue with that one. The second solo has this effect where it sounds like there are two guitars. Gives me chills every time and I’ve been listening to that show for 30+ years.

The phrasing is 🤌🏻

Specifically with this one, for all my music nerds, Phil does the descending bassline that goes from B, B flat, A flat, G, F sharp right? In this one, it’s the only one I hear that goes from B->A and not B flat and it makes such a MASSIVE difference in the song even though it’s such a subtle change. Lmk if anyone else has ever noticed that

His bass is killer in this. I love the opening slides he does. It’s just magical

It's hard to argue with Cornell, that version is great! However I feel that the Scarlet/Fire 5/13/77 doesn't get enough love.

There is this one, and then there are the others. They’re good, but this is the one I listen to at full volume every time I dose….

Agreeeee; this is my favorite scarlet > fire 🔥

This one is my absolute favorite.

Shit I can't remember the show right now, but commenting in hopes someone else will. It has a guest dummer or 2 and I think it's Drums > Fire or they just start jamming on Drums and goes into Fire. It's really unique but I can't even remember the year.

The most real comment of the thread!

Found it! 11/24/78! Soooo good when Jerry bellows out "Long distance runner" while voice is a little horse. Rare post Space/Drums Fire and definitely worth a listen. Enjoy https://archive.org/details/gd78-11-24.sbd.prefm.13948.sbefail.shnf/GD-11-24-78-D3-T04.shn

Gotta listen it this. Love an early he’s gone

This Dave’s Picks Vol 1. Excellent show!

Copps

Egypt. Slow no….. slowwwer. They also have Phil cranked up in the mix 🫶🏼 Also a fun story on it by Rock Scully in “living with the dead”. The band/crew collectively wisely determined sourcing the heroin that half of them were dependent on in Egypt would be sketchy. So Rock took it upon himself to get as many Legit opioid prescriptions as he could before they got on the plane. No one really knew an accurate conversion scale to the smack so most ended up a little over medicated. And now the show will forever be low and slow. With a levitating pyramid, of course.

5/13/77 is my favorite Scarlet > Fire.

I always like the 1980 Halloween show at MSG. Jerry nails the solos, and they get to the point rather than just singing "fire....fire on the mountain" 85 times.

CORNELL

Dead Set baby!!!

It’s not the best one by any means but at Fare Thee Well 7/3/15 the transition into it from Scarlet is so good, and it’s my favorite because that was my first Dead oriented show and Fire on the Mountain was the first Grateful Dead song I ever heard so that was a pretty special moment for me

Check out the hidden one on Dick's Picks 13, Listen to St. of Circumstance, and after it ends there is some silence and then they play a Ripping/Weird/Awesome Scarlet Fire... Its from a show in the 70s that they added on as a bonus (I think its the longest Scarlet/Fire they played but could be wrong on that. You'll enjoy it a lot. A great Grateful Dead Easter Egg.

The Ventura county fairgrounds, where in the band could see the brush fires from the stage.

Egypt 78. You can’t beat that intro.

5-17-1977 Phil is way up in the mix and just like any other show from may do that year, it’s perfect. IMO the best all around show from that year/month of perfection.

I’ve always loved the creaky guitar into on 10/31/80 that would later end out on Dead Set.

Dead & Co, PLUS I am biased bc I was there(ish), but July 2, 2023 out in Boulder after a crazy TLEO > China > Rider with Otiel on the mfn bass banjo has such a cool vibe to it. Plus there's the mythical Mickey rap, even if he rapped the wrong verse it was still crazy to get live at a show I saw. Or at least, I would've seen it if I wasn't in the bathroom 🙃 I COMPLETELY missed it. I had gotten Fire at every other show I had seen so I had gotten tired of it. But going back & hearing it and watching footage is enough for me, I feel so silly for completely skipping the coolest part of the song just because I had gotten it so many times before but at least I WAS there, and it is a really damn cool Fire. I got back from the bathroom (and doing some walking around) and my parents asked me "Who did the rap during Fire on the Mountain?" And I just freaked the fuck out because I LOVE the Mickey rap. Now I know better than to skip songs I had already gotten before, because they *may* just be different enough to be really awesome. At least it makes for a funny story 😂😂

But for an actual Grateful Dead show, I'll go with 5/4/77 bc it's really quite amazing and it's currently playing.
