The "middle solo" in this version is just stunningly climactic!

Jerry's solo builds fantasticly to a huge melodic power peak. One of the best Jerry solos I've ever heard on this song BY FAR.

Roars like a freight train; Jerry is just ripping up the fretboard! My favorite of '78 so far...

OMG...I had to completely stop what I was doing while listening to this one. Totally outrageous Jerry noodling nirvana!!!

WOW. If you dig the legendary 1/22/78 St. Steve jam, you must hear this. NOW. This one might be even better. One of my favorite post-hiatus versions!!

A very nice version, but imho it's not as hot as the versions which surround it (7-28 and 8-7-82) or 5-1-81 which is voted as the current "best".
