Probably a "misdated" Dew, but no matter; this early version is as emotive as it gets

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

Unbelievable Playin' on this Playin', they fly thru at least a hundred different changes at supersonic speed. Billy is absolutely on Fire!!!

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.
