1978 song by the Grateful Dead
Prior to the Dead recording, the song premiered at a concert on March 18, 1977 in San Francisco.[2] That night, as almost always, it was coupled with "Scarlet Begonias" during live performances, producing lengthy musical improvisations. The paired songs were soon nicknamed "Scarlet Fire".[1] The sequence typically timed from 20 to 25 minutes. The November 1, 1979 performance at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York, likely the longest, clocks in over 34 minutes.
"Fire on the Mountain" was performed in concert by the Grateful Dead 253 times between 1977 and 1995.[3] It appears on numerous Grateful Dead albums.[4] An outtake of the song appeared as a bonus track on the 2004 reissue of Terrapin Station.
This song is also featured as downloadable content for the video game Rock Band.
