Its All Over Now

Rupp Arena

Hottest I've ever heard . . . Bobby's growling, Jerry's solo is inspired, huge crescendo . . . as good as the Faces' romp off their album

He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nearly twenty minutes of He's Gone goodness -- jam goes into Drums then NFA but stays squarely in He's Gone territory with some very nice interplay.

A lot like the wild December 2 Casey, without the extra solo at the end. A fantastic, complete build-up. Keith goes nuts. Great energy!

Keith and Donna really shine here -- soft, beautiful playing by Jerry, great Bob vocals, excellent version from an underrated, killer show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Not my cup of tea but it's nice to see so much love. Creates a talking-point. Could it be the A+ board? If so, what d'ya think of the combo from 4-8-78, also A+ . . .
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The interplay in the transition left me speechless -- totally transporting. Great version!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Memorial Coliseum

Great transition; very, very good Scarlet. Ethereal. Fire reaches some hot climaxes. You may know this Fire as the "duck-quacking" Fire. Listen to it and you'll know why!
