I believe this is the first ever Tighten Up jam - Phil and Bob intiate it when Jer breaks a string. Beautiful.

OMG! Most intense Sugar Mag jam ever! Jerry WILL NOT QUIT. Vocal entrance is real sloppy, but it hardly matters - you MUST hear this!!!

A great version! Scarlet is very good but Fire is where it's at. Really hot playing on this part of the pairing. Indeed an overlooked and underrated show!
