Real nice Jerry solo in this one. Excited to hear it remastered in the next Dave's Picks

Welp. Knew about the Scarlet Fire from this show, listened to the whole thing on the 37th anniversary and this Stella crept up on me and will have to give this more than a few relistens. WOW, phenomenal version and one of my favorites already

"a cool version" is actually very well said for this Prophet. After a scorching all-timer 30-min Scarlet Fire, this one is very cool with a great slower pace and eloquent jamming by Jerry. The outro jam is wonderful as mentioned above. The Eyes transition is *chef's kiss* perfect

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

'76 may be the year for Stella! At least for me....My fav on 6/15 at the Beacon, and this one out of a fiery Other One, tempo is perfect, vocals are haunting, and the guitar work is perfecto. Awesome show, DP 33 really is one of the best
