About 3 minutes before Alligator ends, there is a really aggressive run through we bid you goodnight.

15.5 minutes after Alligator begins, or at the 5:00 mark of the 2nd "Alligator" there is a mountain.

Swing Auditorium

It's just one "First there is a mountain, then there is a mountain and then there is" in the CCS>IKYR transition.

The 2nd solo is great. Nothing never heard before, but constructed perfectly.

Ramble On Rose

This is really tight, especially the solo, as the description above says.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 13, 1980
Long Beach Arena

The Scarlet is decent, but the Fire is good in any era. There is serious power throughout the Fire - this one is not laid back. To compare this pair to 11/30/80 a couple of weeks before, I'd say the transition at the end of November is better, but the Fire here wins the overall comparison. This was a nice find, hanging out way down the ladder as it is, and I see a bunch of the heavy hitters have already been here. In fact, it looks like the 11 people who have heard the Fire.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

No, this is top 10. There's a released video with amazing sound and the key person is into how great this song is. This is good New Years stuff.
Dark Star
July 25, 1974
International Amphitheater

Only 7 of these in '74 and this one has a slipknot episode. I'm not crazy; the people are.

dude420 - when you're right you're right. I was sure there were too many fucks in your review, but as it turns out, I think this is a three fuck song.
