Legit. As per usual, Keith and Jerry own this song...

Overshadowed by the monster second set Playin', this deserves more attention. Tight playing, tons 'o energy, and Phil is massive and funky. Check it!!

Garica's solos are inventive and unique...this version is so tight yet the jams seem to stretch forever!

I agree, this one is painfully underrated. More people should hear this!

This is a great one. Maybe not quite as good as Cornell but definitely a standout from '77.

Seriously, this is probably the best version of the year. Wish I could vote for it twice.

A great one! Definitely better than Cornell, but not quite as stunning as 5/21/77, which is the 2nd best of the year IMO.

There are better in May '77 alone IMHO. Check out 5/13, 5/17, and especially 5/21, as others have mentioned. Still an epic version though, with a totally unique transition.
