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...

OMG...I had to completely stop what I was doing while listening to this one. Totally outrageous Jerry noodling nirvana!!!

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!!

Typically strong stuff for fall '73. A good show all around.

A very strong version...very nice jams. Jerry breaks a string towards the end allowing Keith to step up a bit :)
