Man did I ever love Sugar Mag sandwich 2nd sets. It always signalled a dance marathon ahead. Add in my favorite Brent transition ever to Scarlet.

The bridge into Fire is a beauty. Jerry's lightnin' on the solos in Fire - this is a video on youtube and worth the watch. Great show, they really loved Hampton.

Sometimes Jerry sounded as if it was his first reading of this song. In a good way. Vocals are indeed strong in this version.
