Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 30, 1976
Mershon Auditorium, OSU

Signature Lesh. This jam is still floating up there in the rafters, if this building still stands. Once they fling the song out there, surely the music was ready to latch onto Fire, had it been born yet.
King Solomon's Marbles
March 23, 1975
Kezar Stadium

Mainlining this through headphones, tough to beat (unless the neighbors aren't around) and highly recommended.
Samson and Delilah
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Practically got a hand cramp scrolling for this one... they tear it up like a pack of wolves
Cassidy
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Musician's high -- effortlessly and enjoyably riding the wave on top of their game
Jack Straw
July 21, 1974
Hollywood Bowl

The sauntering pace seems to invite and provide space for the increasing barrage of notes that emerges during this era, quickens the tempo, and tends to inform the emphasis on these parts in future years.
