This one emerges from a Phil solo. There are only two fragments of this show on the archive.

Sometimes hard to tell one from another. But whatever. This one is good. It's from City Island, which should have been a cool spot to watch a show.

There is some magic post rio grandeo.

It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strike another match, go start anew: First one in 7 years. Sweet and slow, like the dozens to follow in the 80s and 90s.

The Other One
Oct. 10, 1976
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
Oct. 22, 1978
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.
