From steal your face. This is pure bliss, Jerry's solo does something magic, the drums are pounding, Bob Phil and Keith all on fire!

Bruce Hornsby adds some AWESOME piano riffs on this Scarlet. A real treat. Everyone should hear this at least once. The whole set is great. not to mention Dark Star in the first set!

Surprised this ain't higher on the list. I will have to start listenin' to all the other versions. This was always my favorite version. It gets my vote and hopefully yours too.

Super cool ending, but I gotta go with 10-9-76. IMHO 3-18-77 is a better show than this one, but the whole run was incredible. This is a very cool Scarlet in any case.
