Providence Civic Center

Hardly a classic, but surprisingly not listed despite being on 30 Days 2013

Hartford Civic Center

This isn't on here? From this show? Pretty memorable version.

Rainbow Theater

Caps off one of the most ballad-heavy shows in the band's history.

A nice contrast to all the ballads from this show.

Especially nice and up-tempo following a delicate portion of the show.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 5, 1977
New Haven Coliseum

I think the Scarlet is top-notch. The bridge jam really delivers the goods. I'm not as big a fan of the Fire, which doesn't hit Cornell-like levels imo.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
June 9, 1977
Winterland Arena

Upvote for the Slip alone, which is unreal. Definitely a contender for best ever for the combo.
Cold Rain and Snow
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

Delivered with attitude. Upvote.
The Other One
May 10, 1978
Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

I love the entrance from Drums. Slow buildup until they break through. Underrated version.
Eyes Of The World

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

Unique approach to this one. Phil and the Devils carry a driving rhythm section, but Jerry's a little more subdued. I like it as a change of pace.
