Shut your eyes and listen to the colors of your mind. This song is a guilty pleasure for me, so I've checked out quite a few, and this one is hot.

Not really the best I've heard, but Phil drops some serious bombs throughout.

An exceptional performance from a one off show in summer '78.

The best performance of this song since 1972? Jerry belts out a sweet Candyman afterwards.

Keith steps in when Jerry's guitar channel literally dies. Very nice, Mr. Godchaux.

No one has mentioned the intro yet? Easily the coolest Jerry intro solo to FOTM. Mutron goodness.

My personal #1. Very unique Garcia solos and phrasing during the verses. Aside from the rather rough performance of They Love Each Other, the boys could do no wrong at this show! Epic first set.

Wow, this gets intense. Really good interplay between the band, and Bobby's loopy, staccato rhythm work is not to be missed (although Garcia will easily draw your attention).

I've been revisiting this show over the past few days after digging out my old CD set. I'm surprised at just how good this whole night is, especially the Scarlet>Fire. On-point playing from every member of the band.

19 minutes of pure funkiness. Goes deep.
