Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

The Omni

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Sphinx Theatre

This is a spectacular version for this era. I'd recommend listening to this whole show. Like I said, I'm confused by the lack of support for this night.

Sphinx Theatre

The outro has some excellent fanning and beautiful work from Keith and Bob. Not sure why this Egypt stuff gets overlooked. One of my all time favorite shows.

The definitive! The refrain is repeated more than usual and becomes more powerful lyrically and musically until it goes into the best stand alone Fire ever played.
Me and My Uncle
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall
