Flawless high-energy with Jerry jammin' and Phil deep down in the bottom.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

very good version but, for instance, 6-25-85 Cuyahoga Falls absolutely smokes it (after a slow start, it launches into the stratosphere and never quits)

Way underrated. Smokes many a 70's version. Dig that outro descending turnaround jam thing toward the end.

tight and rockin' - underrated

Is there anything about 5-8-77, including this, that isn't over-rated? 12-9-25: I came across this a few years later and - while I would still argue the song is overrated - I like it a lot better now than I used to. It's an excellent version -- but perhaps there are a few more extant that are just a little bit more excellent?

tore it to shreds like a locomotive chooglin on through the Smokies, black smoke trailin', underrated
