Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

Damn! Unhealthy JG really kicks ass sometimes! Excellent bouncy >, Jer sings along in 'laid down last night.' verse - Rider is simply out for blood!

There's just a litte cheesy chriping synth...outside of that this Bird is jumpy,agressive, and probably cracked my top 5

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.
