Beautiful, flowing, spacey version, reminiscent of 3/7/81 from a couple weeks earlier.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Fox Theatre

Wow. Just WOW. Absolutely the finest Fire conclusion I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. This is one of my new all-time favorite Jerome moments right here...

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

My only complaint: watch out for Donna during the coda, she is extra bad here! :-O

Philadelphia Civic Arena

Absolutely! My favorite pre-hiatus version before the jams got really extended. '74 rocked for this song.

A transcendent conclusion!

Utica Memorial Auditorium

Definitely a great early version we got here...whole show smokes. Check out 2/15/73 for an even earlier proto-slipknot tease
