4/24/78 Horton Field House, Normal, IL
This version of Scarlet -} Fire from the Horton Field House at Univ. of Illinois is often compared to the versions from 2/5/78 and 5/8/77. The band is ON from the start. A controlling presence right from the beginning, Phil slides his bass into Scarlet. The whole group is in complete sync interacting with each other at what seems to be a higher level. Garcia solos long and fluently before handing the introduction of the transition jam over to Donna. Stepping back in, with Phil hot on his heels, he fashions a lengthy dreamy jam that gradually and effortlessly transmutes into Fire.
The drummers get locked in and the groove gets thick as Garcia turns the Mutron waaaaay up to a rude and obscenely high level (in a good way). Not to be outdone, Bobby showcases his recently learned slide guitar skills. I've heard some people say that Bobby's slide work here sounds like seagulls being strangled but this is actually some of my favorite guitar work from Bobby! Garcia is so into it that before the final ascent in Fire, he ad libs "Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn." It may be the only time that he ever did that. Hearing such inspired music from this band sends chills up and down your spine.

All thanks and goodwill to whoever was cool enough to record this stuff for us. For those of us not born until after this, we thank you for making it possible to listen to fabulous stuff like this we otherwise would have missed. Many Thanks, hope we can thank you in person some day.
My favorite scarlet fire since the first time I heard it. Absolute scorcher.
Wow...Jerry getting all thick and muddy on Fire transition and Bobby is just razor sharp playing over the top high with piercing slashes. Whole band is weighing in on this one. Great quality tape and thanks for sharing!
This Scarlet > Fire is more fun than a frog in a glass of milk!
I love how Phil is leading the others into Fire and Jerry is bouncing off the walls. Awesome!!
Way to go, Bob
This is truly a top 5 version.
Has to be one of the best versions👍👍 ..
I thought I was one of a select few clued in to this show. It's so wonderful to know I'm not alone.
Check out this whole show on archive, especially The music never stopped, SMOKIN'!!!!!
Thanks for the Share!
I think this is the best quality version of Scarlet-Fire out there. Beautiful. The guitar work is top notch and Jerry sounds healthy. And the visuals are utterly fantastic. Some of the best psychedelic art I've ever seen! Thanks Nutty Riv3r or whoever put it together. D. A. , NYC, NY, USA
Hands down, this is the best Scarlet/fire out there
certainly one of the best fires of all time. "let it burn, let burn, let it burn"
Incredible sound! I would say this was the peak of greatness. Through it all they stuck together, and played some of the greatest rock n roll the world has ever heard! God, I consider myself so lucky to watch the continuous progression of music and the change in all the D-Heads
This video needs to be turned into a VR video so we could watch with our VR glasses while listening.
This is amazing
Love this version.
'78 Scarlets are killer!
I love the recording on this one. It is heavy as fuck.
