Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Yes! Organic. Hive mind. Collective consciousness. Truly special stuff.

I personally thought this Bertha > GL was the weakest part of the show, but that's just me. I agree that this is a serious contender for the best of '77, though. The entire show is killer.

Just wanted to add that after living with this version for a while and checking out the whole show, I really like this version. Truly phenomenal playing.
