Hornsby's piano solo and Bobby's guitar really make this one special!

Sullivan Stadium

The energy from the show opening Playin'> Crazy Fingers carried over into this amazing version of Wang Dang. I haven't heard one that even comes close.

Everyone at this show knew it was an absolute legend. Rather than starting the set, Jerry began this S>F as a way of saying, "Mickey, enough already," as he bashed, kicked, and stomped The Beam to finish the best Victim or the Crime ever. Period. Victim's energy carried over into the Scarlet> Fire. Phil went on several melodic, mind-boggling runs, and everyone else made a beautiful rendition.

Such an amazing version! I remember that it seemed like everyone got a turn on Fire. Bobby led the intro into Fire with a raunchy tone, then Vince got a solo after the first verse, then Bruce left the accordion for a swinging piano lead followed Jerry saying, "Step aside, Bruce, and let me rip!" Bruce tried to hang with him for some of the best Bruce/Jerry interplay of the era.
