Spicy stuff. All of the October '73 Eyes are just dynamite.

Orpheum Theater

Absolutely incredible jazzy and flowing jamming on this version. Top notch stuff and might be the best of the year. This whole 2nd set is one of the best of all time!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Yes, there are certainly a number of blown lyrics, but if you can hear past that, I think this version has a wonderfully subdued, lilting and jazzy transition, one of the best of the period IMHO. The Fire also contains some very hot playing.

Auditorium Theatre

Incredible version, the final jam peak is INSANE!!

This one is indeed excellent...not as hot as the night after, but very strong!

Easily the best spring 77 version - very hot jam and the first ever pairing with Eyes.
