From 17:15 on, Jerry nails such a brilliant riff. it actually starts with an idea he is toying with at around 16:40. But he raises it an octave and then refines it to perfection. it seriously shouldve been part of the song. It's just a simple variation of the main riff and chord changes, but it just works so well. Pure MuTron mixelydian heaven. Jerry is on fire for this one.

I have a soft spot for this one. DP18 was my first Dead-related music purchase EVER. Scarlet Begonias is what got me into the dead. This show was smokin'.

Yummy, very fractilicous, I never get tired of this combo. Thanks

Absolutely love this one, even though I've seen and heard a zillion - there's that one impossible lick that Jer just lays in there right in the midst of all the swirling energy - masterful.

One of the best Scarlet>Fires ever. Perhaps even the best. What a show!

Right on Lien Ronnoco, I listen to every scarlet/fire I can find. This is one of the best so why so few hits? Hidden treasure. One of the best transitions between songs ever, man Jerry is underrated. R.I.P to all the dead Dead and happy listening and lots of smiles everybody.

I guess Jerry is underrated if you go by rolling stone lists and grammys and all that crap bit of you see the amount of diverse bands that cover the dead he's an absolute giant. Not many guitarists are distinguished by hearing the first note they play

Garcia goes crazy near the end. He's playing like Coltrane. Sheets of notes. Yes, definately mellow but builds to an intense finish. 5/8/77, 5/22 awesome too.

As much as I love this great Jerry scarlett/fire guitar flow, he totally forgot verse 5......Well there ain't nothin' wrong with the way she moves, All scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues. And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes I had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by.

The solo is incendiary when they come out of it they sound like an army marching. Incredible.

My favorite is 5-5-81

Sonically the best ever. From the opening note, the way Jerry heard Keith and vice versa- and played off each other has amazed me for decades. Those two took Scarlet-Fire on 2-5-78 to a whole different level(sorry if you think Cornell 5-8-77 was the pinnacle). Thunder Phil drops, and they play off the vibe of the resonance of the UNI-Dome Coliseum.

best x2 show ever!

Jerry was singing his heart out. Those voice cracks are something else.

This may not the best Scarlet>Fire ever, but it certainly is one of the best. The telepathic connection within the band is incredible. It's a masterclass demonstration of their control of dynamics and improvisational flexibility-creativity. Many people have argued Keith was basically asleep after '77 (if not earlier) but he is so ON here, following Jerry so well, and Phil and Bobby so inventively playing beneath them. If you haven't yet heard the Samson & Delilah and Truckin'>TOO>WR>A&A from this same show, don't wait! Also among the best versions ever. On Dick's Picks 18 of course.

Listening very carefully, I would respectfully but firmly say that Keith is not ON here, but I will say he seems at least half awake and somewhat aware of the great music being played at this show.I Probably come off as negative with this post, but sorry that's the truth as I perceive it. For great playing from Keith, ANY show from 10/71 through 75 he was masterful; it's so sad that such a shy and talented man let it slip away, Could happen to any of us.

The estimated >eyes is nasty ! It was like Jerry's fingers were hammers and the effects were saturating the sound as only he could do laying down the lead around the 12 minute mark ( can't remember exactly been so long since I heard it ) . One of my favorite combos of the two songs. I need to get a new copy one of the disks was needed by a friend more than I needed it some years ago . I truly hope wherever it is it is blowing someone's mind

So fucking awesome!

Best scarlet fire for sure

Jerry and Bobby are on FIRE, i do have to be critical of Phil, this is possibly the least creative i've heard him on a Scarlet Fire

WOW. Simply stated. I had not heard this one. I'm not familiar with many Dick's Picks, just the early ones 1-6, & 24. Nice.

fuckkn great like allways love it usa too we the people

While I think 78 was probably their worst year ever-this Scarlet/Fire is incredible!! Jerry really brings it to incredible places. Even Keith tries to keep up with the rest of the band, at times.

Overall I found this version a little boring. The Jerry/Kieth interplay was good. The rest of the band I thought was kind of low energy.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but this version just does NOT do it for me. Jerry's voice sounds too tired, the sound quality isnt the best, & the flow just didnt hit me after repeated listenings
