An experiment. I've never accessed Wolfgangs Vault before.
From the magic that is the Grateful Dead in 1977. The “Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain” is probably my favourite jamming song, though “Eyes of the World” runs it a close second.
This particular grouping of 'Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain' is from the Winterland Concert in December 1977. It is the second set:
Begonias/Fire was a great jam, especially back in Godchaux days, a bit........laid-back, smoky.... .
The Dead on PoMo.com? Superior to Derridead, at least....and a healthy change from like the idiocies of the Kotzko gang, who don't know fock about the counterculture.
yeah 1977 was a good year for the improvisational side of the Grateful Dead that was very heart centred with intentionally sloppy musicianship. Improvisational rock waned in the face of arena rock that demanded perfection.
Of course some argue that jamming is not improvisation. The latter is more free. I would argue that Garcia and Co. were big fans of jazz musicians like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Charlie Parker, all of which fed into the band's sense of spontaneous invention.
