Subject: -- What everyone here said. '78 was a strange year; take "Werewolves". This performance of that tune is basically a microcosm of the entire year - irreverent, goofy, almost a deliberate sabotage of the previous year. '77 Dead just wouldn't go there!



S>F is indeed beautiful, as is the first set's Friend of the Devil and that absolute monster of a MNS - check the closing jam on that one, oh boy...

Subject: Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain.. Nice crisp sound here..I had this on cassette back in the day and it was not "Normal" how much I played it..A LOT!! High energy from start to finish..People get all caught up in 77'..but I really love 76' and you will find some gems like this in 78'..Music Never Stopped is off the hook and the Scarlet>Fire just smokes!! and I love how Jerry HOWLS in the Werewolves of London..priceless..so please>GIVE IT A WHIRL!!

Subject: Scarlet-Fire I've made posts about this Scarlet-Fire before...It's beyond the beyond...My favorite...I'm working from home on my computer right now, so I'm listening to a lot off stuff on here...I'm exploring more and more musical history but I keep coming back to the scarlet/fire at this show...How can such a simple song like fire (only 2 chords) bring such profound musical moments...The transition is like profound! Bobby is and Jerry are really feeding off each other...It's like in this song (scarlet/fire) the musical energy keep building and building until it finally climaxes as fire starts...and all the tension is released...it's like scarlet is the foreplay, the transition is the sex act itself (fucking), and fire is the orgasm, the second half of fire is just like cuddling in your lover's arms...great concert...someone mentioned an aud recording...i would love to hear that. bye - April 5, 2009Scarlet-Fire

Subject: New to '78... This is a pretty solid show. I'm just starting to get into this year and I enjoyed this show.

I can't really attest to how the first set is played. The Promised Land opener was pretty worn out by 1973 and I just couldn't bring myself to listen to yet another MAMU>Big River combo. Check out the TMNS, always loved this song. Sweet way to end a 1st set as always. But, for the most part, I'm just listening to the Jerry tunes in the first set these days.

But the whole second set is a rather fine affair. The Scarlet>Fire in particular. A very, very well played Terrapin and the interplay between Bob and Jerry in the 2nd set is real nice. There is no hesitation in the band tonight, everything flows with a dynamic tension and is yet another example of the magic the group had.



Excellent sound, excellent playing, very hot show.



Peace. average_joe -- January 11, 2009New to '78...
