Grateful Dead
Noteworthy Scarlet Fires

This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Scarlet Begonias and/or
Fire On the Mountain played by the Grateful Dead. It is a revision of
a collection originally circulated on eTree in October, 2008:

http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=519139

The original collection was 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_. This revised collection includes sources from
Eric's list that were omitted from the original collection because I
did not believe I should seed them at eTree. It drops some of the
versions I used to "replace" versions I didn't think I could seed. It
also adds other versions that were recommended in the comments on the
original collection (for some of the 1994 shows, I had to take their
word for it), as well as versions that I thought should be added.
Remember, "noteworthy" does not mean "best". I welcome your ideas
about what should be included or dropped from the collection. There
could easily be a version 3.

Scarlet Begonias came first, so, there are some versions from 1974 and
1976 where you see it hanging out in the company of other songs. Once
Fire came along in 1977, the two were mostly inseparable (though Fire
did occasionally step out on the town, so to speak). So this is mostly
a collection of Scarlets, and then Scarlet Fires. When one or both
occured as part of a longer jam, I included the other music, trimming
the larger jam in such a way as to balance a desire to avoid musical
violence against a desire to keep the total size of the collection
manageable.

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. The music in these tracks is exactly the same
as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I
joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", I snipped white space
from the end of the tracks and sometimes added fades using WaveLab
6.0, and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used
shntool version 3.0.9 and flac version 1.2.1.

If you have the first version of this collection, you should be able
to leech over it and only grab the changes: you'll have to rename the
old tracks first, as I've had to use six-digit SHNIDs i this version
of the project.
