Subject: This Thursday night show was money. I witnessed it.

The incredible Scarlet-Fire

Reviewer: richcostello - - March 19, 2018
Subject: Good Energy

This was my 4th show and the one where it really kicked in for me. One of those stories where it all came together. Left University of Hartford with friends in the early afternoon, no tickets, managed to score some from a ticket dealer en route somewhere in Greenwich/ Westport area. Stuck in traffic in NYC on GW bridge rushing to get to show. Made it in just in time to catch that high energy Hell in a Bucket open and just like a rocket ship ride from there. Count me as officially on the train from this point on!

Subject: Watchtower

Just a quick comment on the unorthodox reading that Weir does on Watchtower. Still gives me chills.

Seemed to be an energy boost from Fantasy>Hey Jude fade out. May not be everyone's cup of tea - but unique, none the less.

Much prefer the Spring Tour this year over the Fall. Too many repeats at the Garden, etc... .

Subject: Nice!

Excellent sound quality on this. Probably as good, if not better, than the FM. (The soundboard is about to be officially released.)
Smokin' Scarlet > Fire.

Subject: vg rec, perf a bit overrated

vg rec.
good show, vg on paper, good effort, probably wonderful to be there, but honestly not clicking as effortlessly as others did, often struggling a bit. Still good fun.

Subject: Wow!

I had only heard the SBD & FM of this show before this.

Fantastic job, at least what I am hearing in the stream, sounds like the tapers were on point. Good show, too. Don't hesitate to check this out over the SBD or FM.

Subject: my 1st show

i was one of those late bloomers, but this being my first show definately made me a regular attendee to the shows of the late 80's ,early 90's. the energy at this show was palpable, as at any show, but this was something i had never felt before. the scarlet>fire is still my favorite to date.. jerry and the boys are flowing seamlessly through the second set. terrapin was an out of body experience, could have been the liquid, and Brent was phenomenal, his vocals will never be matched onthe mr fantasy. hey jude. thanks Timmy for the lifechanging experience!!! sound quality is great!
