Boston Music Hall

All the all-time Sugarees from early 77 start here folks, and they're already sublime. Keith shines.

Sugar Magnolia

Winterland Arena

Are you kidding?! How could this high-energy romp not even be nominated once? Comes out of a killer Franklin's. Listen now!

Not Fade Away
May 15, 1977
St. Louis Arena

I had to put this up. It's basically NFA "containing" Iko, as if Iko (the first played) sprang up from the body of NFA, rather than a song of its own

Its All Over Now

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

First time played often has some magic in it; this is no exception, especially something this cheeky; long, too, like they don't know how to close it

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 22, 1977
The Spectrum

The Fire in the combo is my personal fave. Very silky, love's Keith's experimentation with a different set of keys, totally pleasing . . .

Orpheum Theater

This is the one. Never before and never after 76 were these ballads so sweet . . . Keith and Jerry at this time = unreal.
