Audio problems abound, but I quite fancy Jerry's playing in "Scarlet."

Fast. Tight. Happy. What more could you ask for?

Not Fade Away

Grand Prix Racecourse

Be forewarned- the sound quality on this is absolutely brutal, but it's worth it if you can make it through.

Sitting on Top of the World

Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden

Out of a killer "DS," and a nice reading of a classic blues tune. Dig those changes!

F– I think this is actually the first '81 I've heard. This is killer stuff. Garcia's in great voice, and the band is fantastically tight.
Eyes Of The World

Uptown Theater

Wish they hadn't stepped on the proverbial rake in the transition though.

Decent version. Worth a hear.

I'd give the "Scarlet" less then 'meh,' but I also liked the "Fire."
