Great underrated show. Listen to what's available in Betty Board quality recording https://archive.org/details/gd78-11-16.psbd.wiley.11486.sbeok.shnf/gd78-11-16SBDt09.shn The drumming during S>F, among the entire vibe throughout the song is amazing.

As a May '78 enthusiast I must testify. Smoking version.

'76 is the perfect groove/tempo for CRS. Bobby and Keith do crush it. This song just can't be played slow enough imo.

The segue into IKYR is the behemoth! slayed by the IKYR end jam. High motor dead. Bobby on the fryer!!
