Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

Winterland Arena

Donna sounds like Patti Smith those last few minutes, and those last few minutes.... The most insanely scorching, blistering, raging, wild and insane finale in the history of stand alone Scarlets... The way it surges out of a serene and gorgeous jam.... So crazy! Fantastic! Powerful!

Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

They wreck the house with this barn burner.... Best ever? Maybe... One of them, at least.... Truckin' was kind of a rare beast in '77, not played til Englishtown......

Yep. Early Berthas rip. More country-rock-garage-band ripping....
