Definitely the best show of the year. Great tight version at this perfect show.

The epic Keysar 20 year anniversary show. This HCS does not match up to that, but probably the best version since it was busted out.

I love this under the radar show. Great playing and groove all night. This Casey is a perfect show closer.

This version is more like early 80's than 77/78, which I prefer.

Don't worry man.... nothing you can say can change how I feel about this version.

You probably have some preconceptions unless someone played it for you without you seeing it on this site. With that being said.... its correct the Scarlet is solid, but not out of the ordinary. The meat is the Fire coming in at 23 minutes. Personally, I love long Fires as it is my favorite song. Jerry's tone and slide sound is unique to this version only and I dig it. The final climatic jam is nothing like have heard from any other Fire as it seems like my head is going to blow up as the climax hits. The crowd cheer is insane and continues into the first verse of LLR. This version is the bomb and top 5 for me. IMHO.
