I am always on the search for top notch Cassidys' and this one really checks all the right boxes. The mid song jam is en fuego

Tight and focused, only 8 minutes but for 8 minutes it covers a lot of ground.

Tender and sorrowful. Jerry hits all the right notes.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Memorial Coliseum

Great Scarlet, but the rails seem to come off the tracks during FOTM. Jerry and the band seem lost in this one. Plenty of missed lyrics and vocal flubs abound. Jerry pulls it together towards the end during the final guitar solo. . .somewhat.

Seek this version out now! Authoritative and intense. This may be my new favorite version of this song. The jam that starts around the 7 minute mark is spectacular.

Really nice version, with a great peak.

This version has a great bounce to it.

This one rages just as good as any version from '77. Drops into a nice IMHBTR.
