Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Killer stuff. Someone recommended me the matrix of this (https://archive.org/details/gd1978-07-08.126239.mtx-redo.eichorn.sbeok.t-flac16). Powerful playing.
