Definitly the best one! The 1st 2 hours are a little plodding, but once the acid kicked in, it was smoooth sailing!

If a better board of this show had been circulating, this Bertha would be so much higher, and right into one of the best Good Lovins ever, Fall 77

They had Scarlet Fire In an Incredible Zone in 83, well 82 as well, and 84 too, oh and 81, with West Palm Beach, the Sports Palace in Spain, and 85, ok, I guess they had Scarlet Fire Going from the Beginning, but this one is Fucking Great!

HOly sHIt! If a sbd existed of this S>F, it would be in the top 10, but the best aud copy is great, I give it an 8/10 as far as aud tapes go...Listening to it now, maybe a 9...

This Scarlet Fire right here, is like dipping your balls (or titties) right in chocolate, and getting it licked off, exactly like it!

Marin County Civic Center

This Scarlet solo is so sick, I don't know what the hell kind of effects Jerry is using to get this depth of sound that he does in the main solo between verses but DAMN it's just jacked up and down and all the fuck around, and I once just had to turn the FOTM off when I was tripping once cuz it was just too much, that killer sound they had goin in 84 that they had been structuring and building since Brent started with them...

Field House - Seneca College

There's no reason on God's green earth that this Scarlet Fire should be below some above it, I mean the Jamaica S>F especially, but it's Seneca Field House fall 77 people! C'mon this Scarlet Fire right here could some how, in some unknown way, bring peace to the middle east, I'm just saying, it's THAT GOOD!
