I've always thought 76 the peak year for this tune and am suprised this one hasn't been offered up yet.

Great version from a criminally overlooked show.

Madison Square Garden

Nasty freezing rain made getting into the city pure hell that night.Opening up what turned out to be perhaps the best show of the year with this smoking rain and snow turned it all to sunshine.

I'm not crazy about the whole Barton Hall thing but this Jack Straw is downright profound,even after countless hearings I still get chills.

How the hell did anyone even vote for any post71 versions of this song?
