At times pretty, at times a little weird, but somewhere past 8 minutes, it's downright gorgeous...

Wow. Opens the 2nd set in the best year of the Wheel... Donna was awesome! This tune was hers in '76....

Hell in a Bucket

Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

Eyes Of The World

Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University

If you love this, check out a few nights later, 11/4/77 (DP12, Colgate). Insane second half to this version of Eyes. Blistering!

Fillmore West

Rip-roaring, snarling and savage. Right there with Bear's Choice....
Dark Star
July 25, 1974
International Amphitheater

Complete and total Slipknot in 1974! Holy mother of pearl onions, this is a great Dark Star! Into a gorgeous Stella Blue. Super strong night, especially for Bill the Drummer... Slipknot should have a listing of its own here. This is a sweet one from '74. There were a handful of Slipknot notions in '74, mostly out of Eyes, one from 6/20 is particularly awesome... Like that, this is the whole kit and kaboodle... Nice!!!

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

As train wrecks go this Half Step's a doozy!!! Something crashes and maybe explodes and it would be nice to say the boys never miss a beat, but they miss all sorts of beats and keep on playing!!! The show must go on! Eventually, it roars into a fantastic Franklin's and builds to become an amazing show, with one of the best Scarlet-Fires of the 80s!
