Scarlet Begonias takes it out of the break, gaining more steam as it progresses, culminating in a searching, increasingly dark jam that fronts a trippy transition into Fire. And that Fire on the Mountain is superb, plumbing the outer realms in the final, monster jam. On the heels of Fire, the band busts into an inventive, disco-injected Dancin’ with the crowd playing a huge role hooting and clapping as Mickey and Billy take over. The audience continues as the third member of the rhythm devils for the first half of Drums until Mickey and Billy leave them behind in a heart-pounding rush. Eventually, the drummers start pounding out Not Fade Away, and the rest of the band quickly answers the call. The steamy NFA gets a bit funky before the boys stumble into Stella. The Stella itself is stratospheric with Jerry sending a passionate final jam into Sugar Mags to see off the set. Before the encore, Phil gets on to report that “Whoever is throwing those firecrackers,” which can be heard throughout the recording, “especially those ones on stage, belongs at a Ted Nugent concert, not here.” Then, with Bobby wearing a werewolf mask, the boys head off into the Warren Zevon classic. The mask might have hindered Bobby’s slide play, but there is nothing obscuring Jerry’s sizzling guitar work on the final song of the evening.

A soundboard of this night is included in the July 1978 boxed set, making this show shine a little brighter still.
