Soo much energy its both sloppy and tight all at once, again the ripping start does it for me everytime. "Ok here you go, the Grateful Dead"

A decent Promised Land till the end, when the band just hits another gear completely, kicking off a superb show.

New #1 version--all time best. This is a stretched-out jam-fest for a song usually given the quick-off. Killer fills from Hornsby. MUST HEAR!

Superb A+ version from a classic 79 show

Perfection to end the first set of one of the truly great shows ever. Keith, Bobby, Jerry--the whole crew is in the pocket and rocking it hard.

Brent is wailing the B3 and the ending crescendo is Allmans-esque with Phil dropping massive bombs. Excellent close to set 1.

The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Final jam here is smoking. Crowd is roaring and the whole band is on fire.

Both the best and worst version ever. Why? April Fool's gag: Bobby - keys, Brent & Jerry -drums, Billy - bass - Mickey -guitar Phil-vocals

Very Strong vocals by Brent. Bobby forgets some words, but this version is HOT
