Nice, over 10 minute version. Its obviously a warm-up to the 77 versions, but this one has some great moments.

This is an excellent version and definately competes with the May 77 versions. This DP has a lot of good stuff.

A nice 10 minute meaty FOTD. This show needs to be listened too. Maybe not a crazy setlist, but some epic playing.

I know its just a jam, but this DS is well developed and is as good as any of the shorter DS's of the 90's.

You probably have some preconceptions unless someone played it for you without you seeing it on this site. With that being said.... its correct the Scarlet is solid, but not out of the ordinary. The meat is the Fire coming in at 23 minutes. Personally, I love long Fires as it is my favorite song. Jerry's tone and slide sound is unique to this version only and I dig it. The final climatic jam is nothing like have heard from any other Fire as it seems like my head is going to blow up as the climax hits. The crowd cheer is insane and continues into the first verse of LLR. This version is the bomb and top 5 for me. IMHO.
