Jerry is sharp and accurate here. Great energic vocal digs. Brent's back ups are so nice. Some heart and lift here, focused and engaged every second!!

Bob's voice has some real flare/funk to it. The whole band was on fire this night. Amazing opener to a incredible show!

Featured right after Wharf Rat. BLASTING with power and tempo. The opening is explosive and the tempo doesn't let up. Very strong '79 version. FIRE.

Great tempo and speed. Bob's vocals are strong and accurate and passionate. Everyone has their moments here. Jerry's solo is incredible and phil has some awesome moments, Donna backs up good.. Bob was really on. Great Samson and Delilah !!

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!!
