In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

A top of the heap Scarlet with a fantastic transition and a very good Fire. What's not to like?

A little surprised as the low vote count on this one. It's a May '77 version of BEW and it's up with the other versions of this month.

I love this version. The suffering is palpable, "never in my mind to cause so much pain". Wow. And the meltdown on the finishing jam is sublime.

This has some nice riffs and a fun feel of the band enjoying learning a new song. good jump into O1
