Henry J Kaiser Convention Center

Explodes out of Scarlet...a very dreamy Scarlet. Weird & unexpected, not the let-down some might expect. Not at all. Bob's a bit scraggly though...

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!

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....
