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

Fillmore West

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.

Nassau Coliseum

I heard the senator on sirius last week and they played the track right after he talked to Bobby about the last solo. It's really good, as others have mentioned, probably worth an Althea vote.

Winterland Arena

Probably like everybody else, I've heard a million Berthas, so I listened because the reviews were so complimentary. The solo is hammered, an anomaly worthy of a high spot on the list.

I think this one comes closer to note perfect than all of the other '77 versions. I know there are those who like the song in different eras. For what this song was at this point in its history, this one has it.

Tremendous. There are some greats in June '76 and this one deserves a place in that conversation. I listened to Usborne's matrix which, as usual, sounded great. I'm feeling some 76 HSF right now darkstar - I'll check those three out.
