Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena

Another Polka time announcement starts the song, Bobby has a little extra growl to his voice, real nice backing from Brent on this one.

emotionally powerful, great take on the tale of August West . Love the starkness of this version and the way they build the intensity as the song prog

One More Saturday Night
March 27, 1972
Academy of Music

Keith and Jerry are locked in and possesed the entire show. Bobby and billy are also extremelly on. Phil as always is dependable. Donna is missing from much of the recordings? This is really a cool tight warmup for Europe 72 and they are on fire. Keith is just at the top of his game. Possibly one of his best shows ever.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 10, 1979
Soldier's And Sailors Memorial Hall

They really take their time teasing round with the beginning of fire until they fully launch into it. really cool long introduction before they really fully hit fire, as with much of early 1979 Jerry still suffering throat issues but it adds a little extra texture to his vocals. Jerry really bends those notes on this very hot fire.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Jan. 8, 1979
Madison Square Garden

Another one that needs a board, even Charle Miller espouses his liking for this set 2 in his notes on archive, the playing is fantastic the energy beauiful this is terrific anoter great Scarlet fire. This is a very clean Audience recording though (The Miler source is what i am listening to). Jerry's guitar is just crystal beautiful, terrific . Donna is also reallyon but I do like Donna. Jerry still suffering from some of that falls bout with bronchitis but he powers through it.
