Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Hartford Civic Center

The Saint is the real gem here. The build up right before the 'sure don't know..' verse is insane!

WOW
Terrapin Station
Feb. 26, 1977
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.
Friend of the Devil
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

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