Every bit the equal of Cornell. 8/24/80 still has a better solo, but this is 1977 y'all.

Perfect, with some filthy guitar in the outro.

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

1984 audience only standalone Scarlet (touch) at Red Rocks. Great solo, excellent transition.

10 minutes, on YouTube and worth a peek in b/w scarlet>bucket and terrapin.

Out of Scarlet Begonias to open the second set, with some teases of the song in the transition.

dude420 - when you're right you're right. I was sure there were too many fucks in your review, but as it turns out, I think this is a three fuck song.

This one is smoked. The next song is what I consider the #1 Deal. Hard to find a better pair to close a set 1.

This one, with feeling, for John Lennon. The SBD is sterile, but Dave Usborne's matrix brings everything in this heartfelt version to life. A nice way to mourn another anniversary.

This is great. I went and looked at the '88 one before I watched this one and there is no comparison and not just because of Bob's singing in the Hampton version, though that doesn't help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iFiPMCYl0Q
