A monster show, always underrated due to poor circulation. I swear the boys are all on mushrooms, and its a best friends birthday.

This is as sweet as it gets. Marty Robbins would be proud!

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.
