Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Eyes Of The World

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

The Music Never Stopped

Fox Theatre

Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

The Other One

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

A thunderous entrance and then they let it all hang out. Even though this is late 76, this bears little resemblance to the mellow 77s. It may be a bit sloppy at times, but nothing is left on the tee. I’ve been putting this on lately when I want to get fired up.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

Chilled out Fire. Very relaxed
Eyes Of The World
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

The intro flows and sparkles like the best 77s and the climax of the second solo break is powerful stuff. A highlight of a really consistently good show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 11, 1977
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

A great Scarlet and a fun transition. The Fire is good, but it doesn't dislodge too many '77s from the perches.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

I rarely seek this song out, but I was listening to this show today, and I loved it. The flourish at the end is perfect.
