Show is proving to be a real hidden gem. Mt St Helens was allegedly erupting nearby for the 3rd time during Fire. Really hot Scarlet and on-point Fire

WOW! Quickly pushed to the top of my list for favorite version ever! Amazing initial jam, then they bring it to a whisper, then - massive peak (17min)

Turn On Your Love Light

Labor Temple

This one is hot. Jerry gets an Allman brothers slide-type feel at the end of the first Lovelight. Very cool
Mountains of the Moon

The Electric Theatre

Outro jam on this is everything. Broody, melodic psychedelic soup

Love Esau and this is a solid, tight, moseying version
Feel Like A Stranger

Philadelphia Civic Center

This version is sweaty... super funk jam, killer opener
Black Throated Wind

Delta Center

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.
