In any other month in any other year, this entire show would be considered a rip-roaring classic (which it is!!). Donna is awesome.

Raw, ragged, savage, pretty darn profound. Almost a Close Encounter out of Space... Always a gorgeous work in progress... Not the best, but....

Meadowlands Arena

For sentimental reasons: Maybe not the best, but nice extended out-row jam, overall well-played '80s

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Never grow tired of this version. Never. Not just the best of the Fall of '77, this is a top ten version all around, ever. The length of the Fire is less important than the intensity, and this one burns!!!
