This two-sided design pays tribute to one of the most iconic transitions in Grateful Dead history — Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain — first performed live on March 18, 1977 at Winterland.
🟥 Front (Scarlet Begonias):
Features the lyric: “As I picked up my matches and was closing the door, I had one of those flashes I’d been there before.”
The artwork is rich with Deadhead symbolism: a mysterious cat, the Wharf Rats, Owsley's Sun and Moon, and a town billboard reading Grovenor’s Square. Every detail is a hidden gem for true fans.
🔥 Back (Fire on the Mountain):
A fierce dragon with matches blazes up the spine of Dancing Bertha, who holds a scroll with the lyric:
“There’s a dragon with matches that’s loose on the town, takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down.”
Flames crown her head as she cools the beast with a bucket of water — a fiery, visual celebration of this legendary jam.
