Punchy little version played to an enthusiastic crowd. Whole band goes off on this.

Less delicate than many of the top rated, but part of nice sequence that hints at the full set jams to come next month.

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.

I confess that I am just not a big fan of the PITB-type jams, but this is extraordinary stuff.

Uni Dome, U of Northern Iowa

Bump for Jerry's birthday. "Samson, Scarlet > Fire" is all time stuff. Whole run from Feb-May (including the Jerry Band stuff) is killer.
