Alligator>China Cat>Eleven>Alligator - speaks for itself. The only crime here is I wish the 2nd Alligator was way longer!

You can clearly hear the first part of this jam was used on Anthem of the Sun - it's out of this world!!

Longish jam starts off pretty loose with an early Thirteens from Phil, but tightens up nicely with some killer Jerry to bring it on home!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

Wow. Just WOW. Absolutely the finest Fire conclusion I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. This is one of my new all-time favorite Jerome moments right here...

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

My only complaint: watch out for Donna during the coda, she is extra bad here! :-O

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Absolutely! My favorite pre-hiatus version before the jams got really extended. '74 rocked for this song.

A transcendent conclusion!

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Definitely a great early version we got here...whole show smokes. Check out 2/15/73 for an even earlier proto-slipknot tease
