Nice melodies from Jerry, hot Phil soloing, then a unique mellow and spacey segue into Wharf Rat

A major hilight of a show chock full of 'em. Just wonderful emotion.

Tight version; jam has bounce, pizzaz, and energy spilling all over the place...these '74 Scarlets are a breed all their own!

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.

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