All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.

Winterland Arena

Are you kidding?! How could this high-energy romp not even be nominated once? Comes out of a killer Franklin's. Listen now!

Not Fade Away

St. Louis Arena

I had to put this up. It's basically NFA "containing" Iko, as if Iko (the first played) sprang up from the body of NFA, rather than a song of its own

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

First time played often has some magic in it; this is no exception, especially something this cheeky; long, too, like they don't know how to close it

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 7, 1978
Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

78's where it's at with Scarlet-Fire -- the band really takes it in so many directions throughout the year. This is a superb rendition, spot on . . .

Baltimore Civic Center

Great vocals AND absolutely superb jam into Truckin' = whole other level
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

Hot, Hot, Hot! Great interplay with Brent really shining . . . best I've ever heard!
Truckin'
June 20, 1974
The Omni

Love when they do the Nobody's Fault But Mine jam, and this one is particularly fluid, coming off a huge Jerry solo sequence -- truly stellar.
Estimated Prophet

Huntington Civic Center

Bobby butchers the lyrics but the band is totally on for the remainder. Very hot!
