Keith and Jerry are manic pinball flippers bouncing their solos off each other here. Fun set closer.

Smooth and satisfying, rouses the crowd right up too. What a sweet show this is.

Fun, raucous, and rowdy, but full of tight ensemble jamming and a nice Bobby/Jerry balance, allowing you to hear Cowboy Bob's great backup work.

Jerry's voice is at his most elegant, showing some smoke. Keith is supremely intuitive and beautiful, the band goes higher and higher. Great version.

These early ones have such brilliant swagger, you can really hear the gospel power to them

Rock solid show opener. Tight from the start. That '77 perfection starts to shine brightly here.

B e s t o n e e v e r. Love how Jerry just doesn't want to stop and grinds out more and more and more.

Around 11:20 Jerry and Keith hit on a new riff that opened up the slow boil onto new terrain. Repetitious? Hardly.... They hit on something that just goes bonkers, turning NFA into hard acid.

Really underrated. This one hits all the high-points, but also shows how much innovation and work they were putting into it. Lots of new effects, echo, and spooky outre weirdness that emphasize how cracked-up the protagonist in the song is. Was it already Dan working the board at this point? Anyone know?

Overlooked. This is a brilliant version.
