Well I'm breaking one of my fore most rules, that is: I rarely review shows I wasn't actually at. However I was at the Swing 1977-2-26(Sat) and there most definitely not did they play 'Scarlet Begonias' > 'Fire on the Mountain'! Therefore this again most definitely was indeed the debut of 'Fire on the Mountain' live as we know it i.e. not counting as it was previously known 'Happiness is drumming'.

- ★★★★★ · Superior! · akmusher · 2009
What a joy it is to come upon a gem like this for the first time (after 25 years of listening). I always assumed that the 77 treasures were all in May. After being introduced to the two February show that kicked the year off (and if you haven't yet heard them then you must do so immedietly) I discovered this Winterland stand, and in particular this show. I have listened to this over two evenings and there are noteworthy versions of so many different songs.
- ★★★★★ · Best Sugaree, Peggy-O, Fire.... · fudoki · 2009
After comparing over the past 4 months, and with 36 years following the band, I must say the Sugaree, Peggy-O, and FOTM from this concert are my personal faves. The unique rendition of Terrapin is in the top five as well. Somehow, the band was just in perfect form for this show, delivering with the powerful gentility that makes the Grateful Dead so unique among all bands. Phil's performance the entire night, but especially on Fire and Sugaree is simply extraordinary.
