Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

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!!
