Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Palladium

This entire show has it all. Even an average play-thru of this sequence would be worth a visit and this is restaurant quality all the way through.

Berkeley Community Theater

Holy Mother of Pearl!

Viva la difference, Marmon! I just can't see how this matches up to Spring 77 - energy, groove, cohesion, soul. It's excellent and I do visit b/c I think it has its own thing that I dig.
The Other One

Manhattan Center

Just one of my favorite iterations of the group. An essential part of the trip, although a relatively short jaunt.

11/2/85 better than this one? I was at 11/2/85 and it was killer, but it isn't even in the same biodome as this one. The 5/8/77 hate sorta baffles me. I like tilting at windmills, too, but c'mon.
