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!!

Ultra-jazzy intro jam before the verses. Some of the best band interplay ever!
