Donna and Bobby are so strong here. The solo is really tight and has some real life behind it. Surprised it wasn't listed! Give a listen!

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 !!

Scarlet Begonias
March 20, 1977
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!!
