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...

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!!

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Bobby proclaims that he is moving to Australia, and the band proceeds to bring the house (err, amphitheater) down! Possibly the finest Estimated these ears have ever heard.
