Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Every time I listen to this one (which isn’t often), I forget about Bob’s slide playing, which sounds like a kid in Guitar Center picking up a slide for the first time. Everything else about this version is superb, but the slide is too distracting
Dancin' in the Streets

The Spectrum

Awesome version with a Mojo sandwiched in the middle
Playin' In The Band

Rupp Arena

An overlooked gem from the stellar month of April '78

Playin' In The Band

Meadowlands Arena

This needs to move up the board. For a year that’s not notable for Playin’s, this one really shines. Brent’s synthesizer sounds almost sinister at moments, like the moment the villain is revealed in a suspense movie.
