Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Yowza!!! 4 minutes in, the madness begins. It ends as Bob says this one's for Marley and they head into a powerful He's Gone.

So groovy!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

After Bobby and Jerry trade sweet licks in a hot Rooster, the jamming builds in this smoking China-Rider.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 2, 1977
Field House - Seneca College

Never grow tired of this version. Never. Not just the best of the Fall of '77, this is a top ten version all around, ever. The length of the Fire is less important than the intensity, and this one burns!!!
