Probably my favorite '86 show and 2nd hottest song of the night behind killer Straw to end set 1

Jerry's tone this night sounds like a howling elephant, translating into excellent rocker of a Sugar Mags

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.

Agree with everything KLAUSSMITH said. Love Jerry's fanning after '...and get ready to kill'. The first set is one for the ages and everything pre-drums in set 2 is fun as hell

This might be the only FOTD that's on my list of favorites. No FOTD rocks harder than this one - energy out of solo is wild

Richfield Coliseum

Agreed, it doesn't get any better than this!
