Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

Of all the versions ranked #1, this is the biggest head scratcher for me. 6/9/77 and 5/17/77 are light years ahead of this version.
Comes A Time
May 9, 1977
War Memorial

One of the finest pieces of music ever performed by this band.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Always a joy to revisit this one, but 5/25/77 is still the king of Scarlet>Fires IMO.

I usually prefer the uptempo versions, but this one is executed perfectly. Essential listening for Keith fans
