Crazy Fingers
July 13, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Hey grendel, I hadn't listened to anything from June '76 since about this time yesterday. But also haven't listened to this Crazy Fingers in a while. This thing really delivers. It has a feel and rhythm and even mood that makes me think of a Waltz.

Now before I vote for this, I need to know if that's Giants MLB, NFL, etc. Cause if it's the NY Giants... Kidding. This is a very nice early era version. Deal and Half Step are two songs (Sugaree?) where I listen to early era versions as much as later versions
