An MLB and Mojo jam hybrid. Already submitted as mojo by cgarces. Only 3 minutes, but worth the trip.

Eyes Of The World

This one gets to a crazy place before drums, which, it turns out, is a prankster reunion.

Eyes Of The World
April 8, 1978
Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The Eyes of the 1st S>F>E>E sequence. A lot of piano, some episodes of beauty and, near the end, some rio-grandeo-type quiet to loud modulation.

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.

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.
