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

One of many great Straws from '78 - not quite my favorite of the year but none are nearly as intense as this one.

Yep - this one is all about the first solo. Triumphant is exactly how i've always described it as well
