A solid and sweet rockin' version. The band is smooth and tight, recording a solid A-

Tomorrow Coast To Coast with Tom Synder

What a rare treat. Sweet video of the performance on the "Tomorrow Show": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chADQBmosEQ.

Agree with Ernie5 - this is right in the sweet spot for the development of the song. Jerry's coda solo is a wild ride through the scrambled madness of the narrator. Bobby's voice in the C.Miller clean-up (I didn't get the box set!) is smoky and beautiful. For me this song has always been *the* emblem of '77 perfection and here it is on display.

Sweet treat indeed. Jerry's voice is perfectly rescued in the C.Miller upgrade, and the band is a graceful waterfall behind him.

Nice angular sparkle to the whole jam here.

Hot streak. This and the NMB before it just come ready to party. We know in retrospect the wall-to-wall peaks from April-May '77 but can you put yourself in the scene and imagine thinking... what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck just happened? Weren't these guys mellow just a few months ago?
