If I ever get to joyfully skip to my destination I'd hear this theme en route. Relentless yet not mean/crunchy like previous year's IAON greats.

8+ minutes of twitching and dodging. This show is easily strongest most complete of Godchaux Winter '79

I would rank this up there with 12/31/79 as best Jackie of the month. The SBD is full and the show rips, the China>Rider and Shakedown is insane

^Check out 1/22/78 and 4/22/78 for matching first set energy. As of 10/12/77, this was the rock and roll king of Deals.

I'm with both Wheel and Jerry'sBitch. This version makes me wants to march significantly more than most(not all), for example check out 5/21/77. It's just as tight and has a lot more twists, Kieth and ends more climatically.

This and 6/9 are clearly twin brothers. Some days I just prefer one over the other. Love the ridiculous tight SBDs from this run.
