I'm watching this set on Youtube and marveling at the incredible video and sound of this monster jam. Maybe the visuals make this version hit harder, even so, those 3 nights in October of '74 made for some astounding music.

Riding the tail of a killer Sugaree opener, this is a great Rooster. One of my favorite '83 shows.
