1. Fire On The Mountain [4:07]
2. Mad [2:31]

Notes:
Two 1981 studio recordings of Robert Hunter/Mickey Hart compositions. They sound very similar to the original arrangements of these two songs recorded in the 1972/73 era for Mickey Hart's unissued "Area Code 415" project (AKA The Marin County Collective), but with the High Noon band personnel instead. They certainly used those much older arrangements as the blueprint for these rerecordings. "Fire On The Mountain" features Steve Miller guesting on lead vocals. "Mad" features Norton Buffalo on lead vocals.  As far as I know, these two tracks are new to digital circulation as of January 2021. - Alan Bershaw
