The fact that this isn't already on here continues to attest to how underheard these London shows are. Smoldering version.

Love Brent on this. Greasy and grimy.

Fine, but very weird version with the premature Fire entrance. How is this 30 votes ahead of 4/30/77?

Just can't get into this one. Seems like many appreciate the slow tempo, but to me it just sounds stuck in the mud.

Love this one. Fast, but not too fast. Just gallops right along. Intro is spellbinding.

A half-hour of amazing music. Nary a dull moment.

Super fast tempo turns up the heat on this. First half of Fire is one for the ages, but it does run out of some steam in the second half. Nonetheless, cream of the 78 crop with just a few others at a similar level. Always a pleasure to hear.
