Thoughtful, almost 11 minute version. Greasing it up before the monster versions of 77. Excllent nonetheless.

Smoked out of space. Some fanning for good measure, too.

Keeps the fun going after Touch. Killer version of Brent's best tune.

They kill the Touch to open the second set of this killer show. Lyrics nailed with summer tour energy.

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.
