Simply beautiful. A gorgeous version of a gorgeous song. Jerry's solo is particularly powerful.

Entitled "Silver Apples of the Moon" on Infrared Roses - it's a Bruce and Vince duet that beautifully segues into "Dark Star"

The DRUMMERS...holy hell! They help elevate this peppy version. Great guitar work too - a highlight of the first set!

View from the Vault IV. A fantastic standalone "Scarlet" coming out of a hot "Hell in a Bucket."

Both keyboardists are giving it their all in this triumphant version. The perfect tempo, and perfect energy level!

My all-time favorite version. Emotional, sexy, and rewarding. Everyone's playing their hearts out, especially Jerry and Vince trading licks all throughout.

Copps Coliseum

Such a full, rewarding, and life-affirming version. Not necessarily my favorite, but probably the one I've listened to the most. It puts me in a good mood every time I hear it...

This one's a scorcher. Jerry's soloing is particularly great.
