Replete with chordal texture and Phil bombs and Billy is so locked in. God damn it this is amazing grateful dead music. It's a leaner meaner and more nasty reading of Scarlet Fire than most of the chill af blissed out 77 versions. It's understandable that 77 gigs, especially from the spring, can get lost in the shuffle when there are so many. But this one we have footage of
