Scarlet Begonias
Sept. 30, 1976
Mershon Auditorium, OSU

Signature Lesh. This jam is still floating up there in the rafters, if this building still stands. Once they fling the song out there, surely the music was ready to latch onto Fire, had it been born yet.
King Solomon's Marbles
March 23, 1975
Kezar Stadium

Mainlining this through headphones, tough to beat (unless the neighbors aren't around) and highly recommended.
Samson and Delilah
June 10, 1976
Boston Music Hall

Practically got a hand cramp scrolling for this one... they tear it up like a pack of wolves
