Pocket-groovin’ version, (as opposed to stratospheric). Stunned I’m posting this one…

A Keith stunner! Laying it down on this swingin’ version to nearly close the show. Yowza!

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 25, 1977
The Mosque

Sterile. I…don’t understand how this one is so high. Keith owns the Scarlet, but it feels like a practice. Literally. Jerr goes nowhere, not that that’s bad, but he’s just playing around, and Keith goes off a few times, then it’s over. Odd. Unremarkable show in the middle of an epic run.

The classic “now we play for Clive” Jerr + Phil look/laugh. Good stuff.

Secret Keith brilliance + probably the 2nd best version, ever, behind 12/16/78. Yowza.
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
April 23, 1977
Springfield Civic Center

These comments are insane, so let’s bring some fuckin’ reality to this conversation. Geezus. This show is great, but Jerry forces the fuck outta this H>S>F. And. It’s. Not. Good. You’re hearing a band that is trying to figure out what they want do, and this version is bad. A month later in Florida? Yes.

Great vocals throughout this show…
