Jerry's in Fennario, but Bobby's in the desert.

It's a shame there's not more of this in listenable quality, but what we have is still blazing.

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.

I confess that I am just not a big fan of the PITB-type jams, but this is extraordinary stuff.

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Bump for Jerry's birthday. "Samson, Scarlet > Fire" is all time stuff. Whole run from Feb-May (including the Jerry Band stuff) is killer.
