Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

F– I think this is actually the first '81 I've heard. This is killer stuff. Garcia's in great voice, and the band is fantastically tight.

Decent version. Worth a hear.

I'd give the "Scarlet" less then 'meh,' but I also liked the "Fire."
