Scarlet Begonias

Winterland Arena

Beautiful Scarlet. The 7-19-74 has some more flavor/jazz to it (of course being 74, with the jazz aspect). I also find the early scarlet to have more bounce. However, like most of '77, they are so damn tight right here and really execute everything to near perfection. I find both 7-19-74 and this scarlet to be the best stand alones personally. Honorable mention as 8-9-76 (phenomenal show I will also note.. But I put that scarlet as my #3, not 1... But still a top 3, which at that stage comes down to subjection :) )

Heady Scarlet. That has some real fire behind it and kick. Speedy with some bounce. Honestly this scarlet just rocks in a lot of ways! I have to up vote, great performance from the band!!
