The combo of both these shows gives a complete idea to me of what the 85 tour was like. The band was on fire, full of awesome shows. The 6-29 and 7-1 Merriweather shows rank as two of my favorites. This show was oso hot!

This is one of my favorite versions of Scarlet > Fire. Jerry's solos during Fire are some of the most creative playing I have ever witnessed live by any musician. The entire second set as a whole is a work of art. A must listen.
