Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 16, 1977
Louisiana State U

Comparing S>F’s makes no sense, as there are different species, and this one belongs to the all-too-rare super-groovin’ + waaay laid back phylum. Echoes of 1/31/78, which is the highest of compliments. Dreamy + kicked back + killer, all at once. A unique + historical version, which is extremely underrated. All-time.

This one is very hard to beat, because it’s just more fun than all the others, which often scream but aren’t quite as loose. New fav.

Milwaukee Auditorium

Lovely version + Brent’s beautiful overlays. Another example of this feeling like a late-70’s show…

Milwaukee Auditorium

Great 80’s/Brent version! (The implication being that these peaked in ‘77, but this one holds the candle…).
