Moody Coliseum - Southern Methodist University

Not the best recording, but the jamming more than makes up for it...this is a favorite for Fall '77 after 10/29.

Probably the best LIG of 1977 and my favorite stand-alone version!

Wicked jamming in an underrated show; the conclusion is especially H.O.T.
