Jerry sounds like he is about to die.

This show has the best Scarlet-Fire of all time. Jerry had a rough night the previous show and this was a strong comeback for the best show of the fall tour.

Super solid show. The accolades that this Scarlet/Fire received are well placed. In my opinion, it is definitely a top tier version.

Beyond the Scarlet/Fire, the song that I definitely recommend you give a serious listen to is Big Railroad Blues. Jerry has an itch to scratch on this one, and he is not stopping until he has taken care of business. Fantastic extended jamming...great stuff. I'm not sure that he is completely satiated by the time the Big Railroad has rolled into the station because the following song, Promised Land, is almost and extension. I, like many, look at Promised Land as simply a quick rocker, but this version is a cut above as Jerry continues this pretty amazing jam session.

Well said Mr. Paco. Personally love ‘83, so much dynamic energy to be absorbed. 4/23/83 Philly Spectrum many years ago solidified the love affair once again. My brother Esau is my brother from another mother always welcome to step inside. Of course and as mentioned before, this scarlet fire is one for the record books. Hope y’all enjoy it , peace
