Tight and hot. Something in the vocals at this show went just perfect too, adding to the intensity.

Phil & Ned: By far the most compact and Space-like. Gargantuan Martian landscapes and insect-shaped UFOs. Sounds like Frippertronics. Heavy stuff.

Fully rockin' blowout to close a lovely summertime 1st set: Not my favorite song, but this one really kicks.

Mega-monster just dives into complete madness with a Phil solo for the ages and wild tweaking from all sides. Much fun.

Here Comes Sunshine

San Diego International Sports Arena

Brings the love on strong and thick. Second round of soloing is pretty mega Though they aren't quite as tight as other versions coming out of the jam, I still keep this on my ever-expanding list of "top shelf" '73 shows.

Kiel Auditorium

Zen-like spacious "hot mellow" like the best of '73. Opening the show like this must have told the heads in attendance, "Gear up boys and girls, we're on tonight...."

Solid rocker.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 2, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Beautiful with a tight jam that scratches the Scarlet Itch. Sounds like Keith on an early celeste program for synth or MOOG at beginning of FTM. Anyone know what rig he was playing?

Big LIG fan here, who generally prefers the '73 sound to the speedy late '70s and '80s vibe, but this one knocks it out of the park. Totally blazing.
