Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Spectacular mid section and a decent outro. This one deserves votes. Edit: I've rediscovered this one a couple of months later and I think it belongs somewhere around #5 on the list, give or take a few. It's way better than 4 votes. The linked source is not the best of the three.

I missed the one I wanted by a year.

Awesome playing pre and post rio grandeo. Jerry does sound like a dying frog, but he tries to play his way around the laryngitis.

This is from the heyday of the song and this reading is really strong. But the quality of the SBD makes this version absolutely stand out.The midsection is great: rapid at first and then melodic and kind of cosmic before the segue and the outro is perfectly fine. I would put this one in the top 10.
