One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

Blazin' hot smokeshow of syncopated bends, slides, and hammer ons that turns the intensity up to 11

I was at this show and it was close to the peak of my time as a Deadhead and it rocked etc but this sounds even better than I remembered from the time.

Diggin' in is right. First Jerry digs your grave scoop by scoop with each note he plays during the verses then he lays you down in the hole and buries you back under the dirt until you are well and truly Dead. Also: I been diggin' it. This is one diggity dank Jed.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is the best Scarlet-Fire I've ever heard both in-person and recorded. 7-1-85 blows away both Copps and Cornell without a shred of doubt.
