Friend of the Devil
If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

The Music Never Stopped
A speedy rendition on a single extant AUD from what is IMO the golden age of TMNS. Good for 77-Feb79, but compares favorably to any MNS thereafter.
4
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!
4
Black Peter
Whoah -- Go run and see!
2
Playin' In The Band
With drums and Black Peter sandwiched between
2
Terrapin Station
2
Stagger Lee
Jerry’s tone at this show makes this perhaps the heaviest version ever played!!!
