This is the third time they played it and it's '77 solid. This whole show deserves more attention. If you haven't listen, you should.

Slow to get going, not error free, but once they get that momentum going it's worth the mention. At least listen from 7:30 on to give it a chance.

If you can take Bobby seriously as a cowboy then this version is for you.

"Last minutes of the song has the crowd singing along" is an understatement!!! From 6:00-7:30 its all vocals and then there are 2 more minutes of the crowd carrying it on. Wish I had been at this extraordinary event.

If only this was the first comment... "11/4/77 is the full length feature. Listening to it I feel as though I’m walking down an autumn leaf covered trail with an old friend who is telling me a how he just met the most beautiful woman, and I can hear in his voice that he can barely contain his joy. Everything is vivid, it’s all the best of Jerry’s early 77 ideas, plus new ones flawlessly woven into one. Every note has purpose and meaning and vibrancy."
