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!!

Playin' In The Band

I dig this one a lot. I don't think it's the best Playin' despite its length, but there are some awesome segments that will definitely keep me coming back. The jamming right around the 30 min. mark, for example, is especially wicked!

Jerry's tone is very crunchy and distorted at times...he repeats a wild Main Ten-like figure during the jam that gets really intense. Love it!
