This is a tremendous version for the 80's. An excellent show immortalized as Dave's Picks 8.

Don't worry man.... nothing you can say can change how I feel about this version.

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.
