The jamming in this version is outstanding. What an epic run of shows for the pre-retirement run..

The beginning of this song is pure disco beats. Never heard that until now, what a powerhouse version...

I'm gonna have to agree with this vote as top notch. In a show I definitely feel is good but not great the vibe of this version is awesome. Broke the tape listening to this version way back when!

35th anniversary of this legendary show today. Spun the Scarlet>Fire and enjoyed it, not sure if it's #1 though. I personally prefer 05-17-77 better but that's IMO. Beautiful still though 35yrs and counting!!
