They are just "on" this show. Killer Masterpiece. Great energy.

There's something about the aging in Jerry's voice that gives the song extra gravitas.

Hampton Coliseum

Real crisp version. Brent sounds like he's dropping pixie dust.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

I remember being at this show and joking with my buddy about the that the song being played meant the band was dissolving. It still bugs me.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 2, 1978
Giants Stadium

I had to give this a listen after reading all the other comments, and I have to admit I was sleeping on this one. Maybe because the recording I have is a little fuzzy but, damn, Jerry starts building something with the first Scarlet jam and the boys follow along on the journey, and it is AWESOME! Must listen.
Friend of the Devil
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Great version. Probably my favorite of the Keith & Donna era.
Hard to Handle
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Holy Schmokin' Balls! To paraphrase the movie Dazed and Confused, "Don't tell me about no Hard to Handle from 8-6-71, man. Your brain couldn't handle that shit on strong acid."
Midnight Hour
Sept. 3, 1967
Dance Hall

This is Pig at his matchmaking best. "C'mon Bobby, go on down there and dance with that little girl." 10 minutes of him getting people of their asses and into the aisles dancing.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 20, 1970
Fillmore East

This one is so good, I wish I could vote for it twice.
