Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Came on after 1/11/79 JS thanks to YouTube autoplay while I was in the shower and I had to jump out to see which show it was LOL...scorcher!

Fox Theatre

Billy is nuts on this one! Lots of 16th notes on the hi-hat early on, just pounding away on the bass towards the end!
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

This solo is tear-jerkingly good. Seriously...great capper to an excellent show in a month that's quickly becoming one of my favourites!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1972
Boston Music Hall

One of the best I've heard in some time! Excellent, extended transition. One of the best sounding non-officially released SBDs of '72 as well!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I like 2/14/70 best myself, but this one is certainly up there.
