A-MAZING, tight as a f'ing drum version with Garica on his absoulte A-GAME. Totally epic, earth-scorching leads!!! MUST HEAR!!!!!

Really long, jazzier version that goes in a lot of directions- some fantastic interplay. Jerry hangs on the main riff at the end forever!

Wow, thanks for this rec!!!! This is easily one of my new favorites. Jerry is just INSANE.

Monster version indeed, very emotional playing. Be sure to check out 5/11/77, though. Might be a little better, and is easily one of my new favorites thanks to Grendel.

Excellent show opener. Jerry's playing is very melodic, almost lilting.
