Pretty standard for the era (77-78) but IMO it still crushes any version from the 80s

During the jam Jerry cycles between power chords and sick noodling, it's played so well they played it again their next show.

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