That was by far the best Scarlett Fire I have ever heard. I can't believe it was 94'. Just goes to show.

I was blessed to see the Dead twice. Once in New Haven, Ct. 1970 something. It was a riot. No NO, I mean a REAL riot, with TG and batons! The other one was in Park West, Utah 1980 something. NOT a riot! It was 3 days of 24/7 French toast, served out of School bus in the parking lot! There was no schedule, the band played night and day. I don't think they ever stopped. I sure dint. BEST TIME EVER!

Bunch of gods listening suddenly you realize life is all about energy.

I was at this show…Friday, 10/14/94 at MSG!! The band opened the show with a most memorable Jack Straw. Regardless whether this Scarlet-Fire was or wasn’t their longest, still great and timeless! Thanks for posting!

I was very fortunate to have seen the Grateful Dead at least a few times every year from 1978 to 1995. I have been able to see everything from Further Festivals, Ratdog, Phil and friends, The DEAD, Rhythm Devils, Future, and DEAD and Company. When they announced that 2023 would be the last time that they would Tour it Broke MY Heart to think that this could be the last time that I was going to be able to see MY BROTHERS and SISTERS that I have met over the last 45 years of being on the road every summer since I was a teenager. I know that there's many other bands that do what they But there is NOTHING like getting a few of your friends together in the dead of winter here in Minnesota and planning your summer road trip to see as many shows that we could get to in a 2-3 week time frame. Then we would have to start to plan the whole Tour and the Trip of a Life time and see what ever we could do during this 2-3 weeks of our summer.

Bloody marvellous. 32 minutes of bliss - beautiful rhythms and every note perfect.

I was listening to Zappa- Advance Romance and YouTube played this next. It brought a tear to my eye of all the long, strange trips with Jerry, Bobby, and Phil. I didn't start seeing them until '85, but at least 50 shows until 94. Spent my Mom's 50th with her at Laguna Seca, CA melting the daze away. 🥴 They will forever be the masters of jams. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[drjsrosenberg]

i was there! I can still close my eyes and feel my joy dancing the fire jam! One of the last great jams from Jerry

[spaghettihumper]

What a miracle! These guys, on this stone, in our time creating joy pieced together from vibrations as a gift to the world. I am so lucky to have witnessed it. One last (?) run this summer. I can hardly wait...

[annafactor]

I heard them twice in the ‘70s in London. Magic. Now I’m 84 and still loving them ❤️

This is NOT the "longest Scarlet-Fire ever". That honor goes to 11/1/79 Nassau. That one clocks in a bit over 34 minutes, and every single minute is pure gold. A top 3 version.

[johnsalazar]

I was at this show in the tapers section. My tapes came out beautifully . The building was literally shaking as this classic moment unfolded. 😃😃😃

[JB-Deadskins]

Phil is on phire!
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

[theresanix]

That guitar he's playing in 1994 the lightning bolt that's my late fiance Steve Cripes guitar that he made special for Jerry😊

[williamlewis]

If you know the dead you love the dead. Period

[arthurwaight]

So so sweet. Relentlessly. That's the best crowd reaction I have ever heard recorded or live, with the DeadHeads riding, pulsating throbbing writhing sweating and

[forestbirdgirl]

A fine “32 minutes of goodness!!!” Indeed!

I saw the Grateful Dead in Tampa Stadium - April 7, 1995. It was my first concert ever!

The Grateful Dead mail order envelope brought a GIANT smile on my face....I remember as a kid always adding a note to please give me floor seats for at least 1 show....they always did...i like to believe my note had something to do with it lol ✌️😎
