LoloYodel 2 camera/angle video remix using (with my usual thanks and immense gratitude) :
1) "Lazy Cow Prod" : Tripod Master JVC Single Tube Camera etc ...
2) Unsigned, back of hall (wide, colorful, stage view) from "Telekinetica"
"Telekinetica" : could you please post at least the rest of Set Two (esp. Looks Like Rain & Attics ...) Please !
Lolo Notes:
Highlights of the show are the Scarlet ~ Fire (32 mins !) and Corinna ...
Color reduction on the Telekinetica angle as the original was tooo bright/blue...

Now 55, I look back to the good times I had at dead shows.such positive experiences,each and every one.hard to believe it's been 30 years. I know there's so many that feel the same way.

[@joblessbum7]

Yes, always a good time

[@pauldennis6069]

I was at this show. It was one of the biggest roars I ever heard at the end of Fire. Remember till this day. It was simply amazing.

[@pauldennis6069]

We did it bro. We did it. We are a part of fkin history =)

[@stephensadousky1929]

One of the best Scarlett/ fire I've seen.... and I've seen many.... love to family

[@genesmith8627]

LOVE the TEMPO!!! This was Definitely a "spinner night"!! You'd have HAD to have had your sandals Nailed to the Floor to Not be moving around to THIS!!! AWESOME!!😎👣🎶🎶🎶

[@bzolsen]

The tempo to SB is perfect, the intro is really amazing, Jerry's entrance is on the money, his vocals are great, and the solo keeps on going. Phil is higher in the mix than usual, too.

[@goodkarma1967]

Great Scarlet-Fire & a top show for sure, especially in the 90's.

[@brianjtopa]

I came from Cleveland, borrowed dads car, never been to nyc, came out of lincoln tunnel, mortified, planned trip months before, mail order. Phil side, blew my mind. 18 yrs. Old . Jerry possessed me to see every other show till he passed, thanx jerr bear! Thanx grateful dead! Always grateful

[@pauldennis6069]

Omfg you musta been freaking out going into the Lincoln. Props =)

My 5th show and very first on a 💪 psychedelic - a night I'll never forget! Thank you Jerry!

[@jasonstrulowitz5670]

A night you can never forget but mostly can’t remember.

[@pauldennis6069]

God bless man. I was there with my bestie. Amazing.

[@sportsdadpw]

i was here one of the best scarlet fires in a while !!! ny msg rocks all energy #deadbelt

[@jimmilne882]

The finest Scarletfire ever played in my opinion interrupted by adverts, unbelievable!!!

[@gregy9770]

We were in the mezzanine and Jerry’s first” fire “ there was a flash on the floor like someone had flash paper and the crowd went nuts. Anyone else see that? Best of the nineties... top 10 of all time

[@piperhudson1]

100% it was an extraordinary moment that I will not ever forget. We were behind the stage looking out towards the crowd and it looked like a 20 foot fireball shot up from the middle of the floor section. You can hear the crowd cheer at the 14:30 in the video.

[@rm1133]

I will never forget that. I always thought it was the lighter w/ a hairspray bottle trick which just lit this huge fireball. It was timed so perfectly which made it so cool. Exactly at the first “Fire!” 🔥! Nothing beat a Friday night NY crowd at the Garden w/ the good ol’ Grateful Dead!

[@franka1374]

I saw it!! The ceiling was already melting by that point.

[@mikehunt6218]

What an awesome late 90s Scarlet begonias, I saw them the week previous, they did six nights at the Boston garden a few of which were very high quality shows 💯

[@rm1133]

The night the roof almost blew off the Garden

[@jamesskahill323]

biggest crowd response I've ever heard. mind blowing, I had some non head friends with me at this show and they were like "what the hell just happened"

[@Mike-bk8xo]

I also was their. Hell of a show magical mistical. Jer and and the guys were right on ps. Did that show drug free. Really enjoyed it. 10 plus

[@LonePigsyAndCub]

I love it! Thank you LoloYodel and all involved for bringing these GD vids to youtube!

[@LoloYodel]

LonePigsyAndCub Thank y'all Gentlemen ! My pleasure (and alot of work indeed). Just hoping it's as close to "just exactly perfect". Wish though that some of the video qualities would be in higher resolution, cleaner ... oh well, can't change that. Peace

[@nectar810]

haha sweeet ! sick! Jerryz tah is sweeet..... sick...."superlative adjectives are soon exhausted"......

[@pauldennis6069]

Finally, I was there. Validated. Thank you. Love you

[@anilkumarbhardwaj2718]

they were playing with such urgency then. i miss that sense of urgency at Dead and Co shows. Back then it was if they were trying to get as much music out as possible, as if jerry somehow knew his time left on this earthly plane was evaporating quickly...

[@BDB78]

I believe he did know.

[@george.s.8491]

Awesome thank you!!

[@LoloYodel]

Simply the complete, uncut version, of this 32 min "Scarlet ~ Fire" from the Mad Garden, NY ! The "Fire on the Mountain" begins at around 9:35

[@claymationwaves]

any close up footage from 84?

[@rahuljoshi554]

After fiddling with some electronics at 15:15, Jerry gets it going at the 18 min mark...Phil set him up !

[@ericheisler4270]

Rahul Joshi I actually love how his meandering and experimenting with that slide electronic eventually meets up with that sweet riff he comes back to again and again to set it on absolute fire!!! I remember absolutely losing my mind in that final jam at the show.

[@hammondOT]

@@rahuljoshi554 Doing a little Allman Brothers impression there.

[@pauldennis6069]

Yes Jerry was not satisfied with his first solo during Fire. He comes back to it and murders it. Amazing. @@ericheisler4270

[@TheCandyman75]

Feels like yesterday.

[@sportsdadpw]

i remeber this show so well i was right in front of jerrys shoes . also great corrina amazing for a 95 gig

[@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy]

Solid performance fueled in part by an energized Madison Square Garden.

[@Eric777-71]

WOW! This is a Monster version 🎸 wooooooohoooo

[@andyinwards2119]

Oh my... what a band!

[@matthewmead2374]

Lightning bolt, the Steven Cripe built guitar Jerry is playing here, looked and sounded fantastic. The luthier copied the look of the alembic guitars jerry played through the 80's and early 90s but I think that this guitar had a better tone than tiger or rosebud, and i prefer the darker grain of wood over the red of tiger and rosebud. I only wish jerry had gotten this guitar much earlier in his career so we could of heard him play it at his peak of skill

[@bluecollar825]

Nah, Im glad Wolf was his companion in his prime. But I respect your pov...✌

[@novakaya]

Prime? Jerry’s prime came and went all throughout his life. Mostly came. But I mean……did you listen to this Scarlet? This is my ‘Jerry in his prime.’ Phil too. Aged mastery. Such is the subjective beauty of art to the beholder

[@redwoodcoaststudio1610]

I also respect your point of view, like the others, sincerely, but this guitar was made from a bed from an opium den. Literally. Not sure that was the best choice. I know he loved it, and definitely some gorgeous haunting music was made on it, much of it with a very acoustic effect, bringing it all back home at what I feel he knew was the end of the road. I prefer any of Irwin’s guitars any day, but I love it all and I’m so grateful to have seen dozens of shows in this era. What others have referred to as meandering during sections of this song, honestly isn’t meandering at all. He was completely on point and knew exactly what he was playing. He was WAILING. The reality is, he was over it. Baring his soul, not interested in repeating his old music. But he could still absolutely be Mozart and Beethoven.

[@RoyChewbacca]

What a brilliant band x

[@infocuss]

I was at this show. I remember it being the hottest fire I ever witnessed I was blown away literally! Even b4 he began singing the the crown was as in fire as the song was

This was my last Dead show…was there with two very incredible friends. And had never had a Scarlet. During set break I turned to them and said “if they open the 2nd Set with Scarlet/Fire I’ll s#i+ my pants!!” And the rest is history. Amazing night.

[@pauldennis6069]

Oh man, God bless. I had the same with my Stacy. It was her favorite song. Great memories.

[@novakaya]

Philip is ALL over this Scarlet….chasing Jerry through wormholes

[@turretstudios9907]

Wow! Jerry is sitting this song down!!

[@bannercaptain]

One hopes, Really Really Really Really hopes that this makes a Dave's Picks

[@jbix909]

Being a guitar 🎸 player I’d like to ask Jerry why he stopped playing a Gibson SG, and went to a strat back in the day. Until then I guess it was the sound he got on Truckin, that twangy country sounding honky took kinda deal. It’s also maybe lighter and more comfortable - why their preferred over say a Les Paul. Never had a SG so IDK. These home made independent guitars 🎸 are so so I guess but don’t sound much different than the SG he used in the 60’s. I guess his sound is more from him, the way he presses the frets, and the technique. I was horrified when he showed up to play with a Strat. I’ll get over it. Clapton also. BTW, I only own a Strat now, and a fender acoustic.

[@christopherorman5769]

Vince....just ugh. Vocals are atrocious and the playing is, as usual, boring and heavy-handed. Not a bad Scarlet --> Fire though, if you can accept those flaws.

[@ericheisler4270]

Give it up-I wasn’t a huge Vince fan, but completely helps jerry find a vein of gold in this Fire.

[@christopherorman5769]

@@ericheisler4270 We can agree to disagree. I don't think Vince helped Jerry or anyone find much of anything, here or in many other performances. There was zero interplay between the two. He had rote runs and block chords. He started off, basically, like later-day Keith with the block chords and lack of inventiveness. His repetition then only grew more obvious later. Watch any Hornsby performance, and Garcia's approach and eye contact changed drastically. That should tell you all you need to know about Vince's role.

[@matthewmead2374]

@@christopherorman5769 yeah i agree. In 1990 when Brent died I think the band didnt want to commit to some long process of finding the very best replacement, but instead wanted to quickly fill the void and move on. I would.imagine the pain of losing Brent coupled with the sheer fatigue of playing and touring for 25 years factored into why they wanted to avoid a long search for a new keyboardist. The priority was not finding the best instrumentalist but instead finding someone who could sing the high harmony parts while also being generally competant a musician. T Lavitz from Dixie Dregs who is damn near a virtuoso keyboardist was turned down. I believe that after hiring Vince and rehearsing with him they started to have doubts as to his ability to step into the role. Instead of firing Vince they simply hired another keyboardist (bruce hornsby) Bruce had that magic, that secondary melodic lead during jams to interplay with Jerry. They had real chemistry and played with and off of each other. Vince on the other hand provided some color and flavor but rarely stepped up to feed off of Jerry's lead. They had wanted bruce to stay on idefinetaly but he was increasingly dismayed and frustrated over Jerrys inconsistancies and drug related failing health and felt he would be cosigning Jerrys descent if he stayed on, so he went back to his solo career and vince took over sole keyboard duties in 92. Vince wasnt by any means a bad keyboardist, and there were times where he could really step up and suprise you. But mostly he went through the motions and was simply good enough but far from great.

[@bluecollar825]

Aside that song being unreal live, I agreed Vince should have his mic at a lot lower that should be. Anyone can tell his voice is not really pleasant
