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)

Digging this bouncy version. Excellent ramp up for the close

This version is everything. Jerry's licks leading into the jam portion are indelibly etched into my brain. I have no shame in double commenting - this one is one of the absolute tops and deserves dap.

Show opening, near 12 min version. Raw, powerful and emotive. Love, love, love Jerry’s tone

For me, this one is the ONE. Such controlled manic swells, perfectly paced, everyone is nimbly riding an incredible wave of energy. Creativity paired with precision. UnREAL levels of greatness

Went back to my roots for Jerry week and this screamer has lost on steam or luster after all these years. Keith is an absolute MONSTER on the boards. Speed country rock at its absolute best
