I really dug that short version of Fire On High they dud first.
That woman is a fine violinist, too.

And, that's especially tough, since there's usually about 10 people up there!
That Showtime special they did at Hyde Park was awesome!

Early '75 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. I believe that would have been to support the El Dorado album. I know they opened the show with Fire On High, so that album makes sense as the reason to tour.
They were very good, but I think they were even better later when their success allowed the stage hardware to allow them to really reproduce that stuff live.
I'd like to have seen them in the 90s when Lynne had developed a more collaborative approach.
