For the love of Jerry you MUST listen to this immediately. Cease all other activities and prepare to have your jaw hit the floor!

Seguing out of a sick Franklin's Tower it gets fast, flawless rolling licks from Jerry and great timing from the rest +killer final Jam

Sweet end to a magical show. Perfect harmonies w/Brent. Only flaw is when Bob says "careful up there" to someone doin' somethin' werid in the rafters

Talk about slipping through the cracks: This is a classic long, jamming sick slick trip thru both tunes. Intro to FIRE one of the best ever performed

Outstanding version with a nice Jerry-led jam early in the tune, after the first verse.

darkstar^^^good point that while a lot of wheels are spacey build-ups (& great they are) this one stands out for getting right into the theme but w/out sacrificing the ethereal moody mellowness of the tune. As Ernie noted as well some very distinguishable eastern influences make this a slightly different & wonderful version.

Was this really the live debut? If so, up there with the best “first evers” of all time. Jammed out & jazzy & rolls into a stellar Stella.

rolls gently & smoothly from Let It Grow & is a real gorgeous rendition with no interference on out of key vocals as later versions suffer from. End jam is surprisingly intricate & lengthy given the song's relative infancy. Excellent stuff.

Heck yeah and to all the above comments. Worthy of way higher ranking

Mind hasn't been changed about this version being undeserving of its far & away #1 all time position but (& perhaps this is obvious to some but it's only just recetly dawned on me) that perhaps the magic of this version is that it can be truly listed as ONE song more than any other existing rendition. The Scarlet end & Fire beginning are just about indistinguishable and the "transition: doesn't even really feel like one. All other versions stand out for their distinctive pairings but Corenll is truly all of one piece. It's amazing & should be rightfully celebrated for that fact. Best ever? Not to these ears. Top 20? Fer sure--and unique among all others--true as well.
