This Dead & Company performance of “Fire on the Mountain” is unique: in addition to the usual lead vocal by bassist Oteil Burbridge, we were treated to a vocal performance by Mickey Hart! Mickey co-wrote the song with Robert hunter, and there is an unreleased studio recording from the mid-’70s that features Mickey singing! You can hear it here. The lyrics were pretty different, too. Mickey came down from the drum rider and sang his verse near the end of the song, just this one time.

Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from our Deadhead friends at Nutribullet, makers of juicers, blenders, and other kitchen tools!
