Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

One of the best Scarlet-Fires of the Vince era.

Just noticing how underrated this show is. Wow. It even has an excellent Walking Blues!

This tune basically bookended Bruce's first five night run as a member of the gang. It's a great version to boot. Not too many dry eyes in the house. Jerry's voice at the end said a lot. Kinda shocked this show doesn't have more love. Great show.

Gotta agree. After the pure perfection of 8/13/75 and the beauty of 6/14/76, this one is right there with the best of them. Amazing. Thanks in a big way to Bruce! When they pick up the pace and begin the surge into UJB, lilting and gorgeous.
