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

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

Grand Prix Racecourse

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

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

This just put me in two places at once. Calendar cycles.

Yes! Organic. Hive mind. Collective consciousness. Truly special stuff.

Surprised more people haven't commented on this! Some great playing, lots to listen to.

I personally thought this Bertha > GL was the weakest part of the show, but that's just me. I agree that this is a serious contender for the best of '77, though. The entire show is killer.

Just wanted to add that after living with this version for a while and checking out the whole show, I really like this version. Truly phenomenal playing.
