As is typical of this era of the band, Keith totally owns this version. I can't get enough of just how tasty his piano fills are here.

Opens set two with energy. Keith and Jerry duel it out the whole way through the song.

Love versions of this track from 72 and 73, and this one's no exception. Keith's piano is great, Jerry's playing with gusto, everyone's locked in.

Keith's gentle keys add SO much to this version - a very emotive rendition, just as it should be

A big showcase for Jerry's vocals - he's nice and aggressive here. Keith and Billy sound great as well backing him.

All New Minglewood Blues
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

It didn’t make the list because “All New Minglewood” is the arrangement of the song they used in the 80’s. The version from this show, which is just “New Minglewood,” is already on here.

^ I know it, man. I’m surprised I had to even submit this one in the first place, I thought for sure it would have already been on here. In my opinion, it’s the best standalone Scarlet post-1977.

Easily my favorite. The energy is off the charts. Phil and the drummers are totally locked in, and Jerry sounds great.
Jack Straw

Giants Stadium

FANTASTIC version. The vocal entrance following the jam is legendary, but the jam itself is just as hot. The drummers are really getting into it, too.

Jeez, Fool - If you like 11/2/85's Dew so much, go comment on that one instead of hanging out here. There's nothing wrong with people thinking this one's the best. What does it matter? Let them like what they want to like.
