Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

This wasn't played on the 27th...
They Love Each Other

Swing Auditorium

I prefer the fast versions, so I disagree with this being #1, but it is undoubtedly a great version and one of the best of the slow versions.

^Yeah, it is a strong Keith version. Whole-heartedly agree that it shouldn't be #1 though -- that honour belongs to 5/17/77 Tuscaloosa IMO.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is sometimes a "meh" song for me (although it's been growing on me recently), but this version wowed me today.

Great version and a great little solo from Keith!
