Fillmore East

This one is the sound of a band that knows it can do pretty much anything. Smooth and fiery.

Can't get behind this one - the drums are simply out-of-sync. To me, there is no groove. Too bad, b/c the rest of song does sorta cook. Excellent show overall, too.

High in quality. A spring in its step.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

Happy re-acquaintance! Or Re-happy-acquaintance! Or Hap-Rippy-Paloma-Snake! Best of May 1977? Probably not, but who cares? The margins are slim. Either way, we're in the black.

Nice re-visit. Solid as a rock. Strong.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Has everything you need. Bananas show, in general. Smokin' version.
