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'.
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
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.
Impressive to say the least. I thought I heard most of the hot scarlet/fires out there. This one is up there at the top for me. Right with Cornell and the capitol theatre shows during this era. Check out last show at JFK 7/7/89. New era, hot hot show!!
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.
Wow o dabbled with sax. Rollins Kirk palrker Sanders . Ornette Coleman who Jerry played with. Any haven't heard sheets of music in thirty years. Forgot. Nice insight
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.
I felt asleep one night listening to this piece of heaven on earth and the craziest around and around woke me up like I had been hit by lightning. 78 was uneven but when they were on fire they were at their best
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
In this other link to this same show, it's the 2nd set and in this show the Boys SHRED The Other One - Just one of the best hardest versions ever. Jerry was simply astonishing this night in the heartland !
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.
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.
I wonder why Jer didn't take some extra laps of the Scarlet instrumental, as he often did when the playing was really great...Maybe not tempting fate/fear of flying played a role?
nice wawa jam in beginning of fire. this version is superlatively mellow and relaxing. but, for shear talent, euphoria, and intricacy, 8-6-82 is better.
I was just listening to a monster Scarlet>Fire from Autzen in '94 and this one was in the sidebar...oh, the eras, the changes, the energies...The Grateful Dead are the greatest band ever. We haven't even looked at '68 yet...or '85! Summer Tour 1990 Liquid Jerry '73 or 4! The universe is so much better because of the Grateful Dead.
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.
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
@Tom Stamos I do need new buds. Not gonna lie. My cat chewed my good ones. I love the cliche but great Cornell and closing of Winterland Scarlet/fires. You may be right though...it is not the same without good buds or a good sound system

This is my kind of Dead-related comment.
@@steveanderson7864 I agree, this is my talk. Really is nothing better than that mutron mixolydian heaven creating those euphoric places for your mind
Yes when he hits the hard strum on fire and it echoes, I get the chills
Way cool breakdown will listen for it
@@moondog2032 I hear Fire at or around 11 mins in
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'.
One of the best Scarlet>Fires ever. Perhaps even the best. What a show!

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.
Thank You! I haven't heard this version in years!!! I have missed it!
I agree. I cant believe theres not more hits on this version. Jerry is in the zone
+Blake Whittington The Zone.
Probably my 2nd favorite version/ 5-8-77 was fantastic but this was right there

Man, one of my all-time favorite versions!
Alexander Prendergast , yup
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.
Wow o dabbled with sax. Rollins Kirk palrker Sanders . Ornette Coleman who Jerry played with. Any haven't heard sheets of music in thirty years. Forgot. Nice insight
As a dead nerd, I must say that 5/22 had no Scarlet>Fire. You could either be referring to 5/21 or 5/25, both of which are fucking killer
the transition jam here is amazing, the best part! more like an Indian raga than any "rock n roll"
This is my favorite Scarlet>Fire. The beginning of fire is almost spiritual.
The grateful dead is spiritual..never almost .....
I was at this show at UNI
hello, i live in Rhode Island, this is my favorite Dick's picks, my 17 year old going to uni in 2020
Bobby is such an underrated guitarist. Brilliant stuff!
I've loved the Dead for pushing 40 years, and Weir surprises me more all the time.
Jeff Reznik yeah I’m really feeling him
With this version I feel like I was there..
once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest places if you look at it right
mike rubin where did you hear that
My favorite at the moment :)
The band comps behind Jerry's Scarlet solo like playful puppies. What a sound. Starts @ 2:32.
Maybe Wolfe pups 🏜️🇪🇹🌵🇬🇧🇯🇲🇮🇱⚡💧🍓 Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️ Jah rastafari Jah jerrymylitis Jah sisters Jah everything everyone
WOW! Thank you dallasradionerd!
Total bliss.
Wow!! Such a delight!

The solo is incendiary when they come out of it they sound like an army marching. Incredible.
Jerry was singing his heart out. Those voice cracks are something else.
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.
Sam Conover he was too excited to solo lol
Funny. This is one of my top shelf favorite. Another is from 2/3/79 Market Square and he does the exact same thing
I know…there was another version I had where he did the same thing!
best x2 show ever!
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.

Mighty cold outside the dome that day. Hot stuff inside, though.
My favorite is 5-5-81
fuckkn great like allways love it usa too we the people
Best scarlet fire for sure
Happy birthday!
So fucking awesome!
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.
I wonder why Jer didn't take some extra laps of the Scarlet instrumental, as he often did when the playing was really great...Maybe not tempting fate/fear of flying played a role?
He does, playing FIVE choruses of the mid-song solo, each more intense than the previous ones, before the final verse.
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
nice wawa jam in beginning of fire. this version is superlatively mellow and relaxing. but, for shear talent, euphoria, and intricacy, 8-6-82 is better.
Epic Wawa....wonder which guitar he's playing here.
Jonathan Gal yes 8-6-82 is my favorite too - surprised it doesn't get more attention. Brent's Organ at the top of its game.
th-cam.com/video/fTJW2PyDreA/w-d-xo.html
oh man. Listening to that one now. Omg.
@@saysethaHe is playing Wolf for this show.
12:46 leadup is my favorite
And Donna is in tune!
Excellent fucking Scarlet!
Who came here from the old man dancing..??
Jerry is playing his new "Tiger"
This is Wolf! No Tiger until '79
Who's on background vox?
Grateful Dead - 1978-02-05 - Second Set
Issue
Is there a bad version of this song? I've never been wrong
Probably the finest scarlet/fire ever
what about 5-8-77
hoffmanscup: I think 5/8/77 is overrated. The whole show. This, meanwhile, is just ferocious. But that's just my opinion, of course.

Fk !!ny😂...t goat
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.
Spellbinding
;))

@Tom Stamos absolutely lol. I can't get mad at her for anything. Even worse bc she's still a baby!
Bob you were not feeling it. Disappointing.
