One of my favorite 80s 1st sets. This version here is not the on and on type, but it is so well-played, everyone is on it!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

Jer is fired up with his delivery of these Scarlet verses and the band creates magic on this early version for this duo. Definitely a hidden gem version.
Not Fade Away
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

Wow. I missed this version all these years. This show may be most known for the Terrapin into Alhambra extended combination. But there is so much more including this insane NotFade. Think Cornell meets Englishtown. It's not singularly better than either but close to each and takes elements of both. it's real good stuff, and be prepared it's manic for sure.
