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

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!!
