Grateful Dead
Dead To The Core Project
Noteworthy Scarlets > Fires (A Collection)

This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Scarlet Begonias and
Fire On The Mountain played by the Grateful Dead. Scarlet Begonias
started its life as a stand-alone, mostly first-set tune in
1974. Early on, the band found a lot of room for improvisation in its
end jam. It found a steady companion to take advantage of its
loose-endedness when, in 1977, it was paired with Fire On The
Mountain. The pairing was one of the foundational high-points of
second sets throughout the last half of the band\'s career. Except for
brief moments along the way, and then a period of time in 1989 and
1990 where the band was shaking things up, the two songs were
inseperable. In retrospect, that is no source of grief for us: we do
not wish we had seen more Scarlet > WomanSmarter\'s.

The collection is closely based on a list put together by Eric Wybenga
and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac of the
Grateful Dead_. I have no idea why he was so profligate in his
listmaking for these songs -- the collection is nearly twice as large
as any other collection in his book. He was so exhuberant to make this
collectoin big, he listed one show twice! Maybe Eric liked Scarlet >
Fire ;) Fortunately we are able to find SBDs for most all of his
selections, and AUDs for the choices that are commercially released or
are simply not available as SBDs. So the collection is nearly exactly
as Eric envisioned it.

The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. As just the Scarlets and Fires seemed to make
the collection large enough, and since these songs were usually
well-separated from their neighbors, I have tried to track things to
focus on these two songs unless the transitions to their neighbors
seemed noteworthy and organic. I joined tracks with \"shntool join\",
and then I retracked and added simple fades using Wavelab. I fixed up
the resulting tracks using shntool strip, and then I compressed the files
using \"flac --best\". I used shntool version 3.0.2, flac version 1.2.1, 
and Wavelab version 6.
