Fantastic Phil vocals. He really hit a new stride in the last few years. Not to say he's a good singer - he's absolutely terrible and I'd never play this for someone who doesn't like the dead - but I love it nonetheless

VERY hot mid jam, great sleeper pick as usual. As is well known, Jerry really brought it this run - not really a bad night in the whole thing.

Hi GRAVEROBBER and DS67 - think we've had this very same discussion on the 2/3/78 cold rain and snow page. All I'd like to add is that it's an objective fact that Keith sucks on this version. Don't think there can be a debate there.

Couldn't agree more, Jaivo. There's a hell of a lot of well-known versions on this site that are firmly ensconced in their positions at the top of the rankings by virtue of being best-known! As to this version, it kind of stinks. Fire gets pretty hot, but Scarlet is a throwaway and Keith's incessant pounding on the same damn chord in the transition is a major buzzkill. There are better versions even from this month, although if you want a real hot transition, try 3/22/90 - now that's a version that deserves its place in the rankings.
