Keith's second show & he's all over this faster paced super fun honky tonk version!

This is really the best one I've heard--everyobody nails their parts/lyrics...great piano fills on the side (yay, Bruce!). Just exactly, etc.

Incredible. Check out Brent's fills during the epic post-lyrics outro. A must-listen top tier Althea w/bounce, power, & panache!

Apparently no one is aware that a fellow named Keith played in this band or this version would have 50 votes already. Needs to be heard!

Outside of 1977 this may be the best version I've heard. A+ vocals from Jerry, killer mid-solo; slightly faster tempo. Must hear. Gr8 Matrix!

J_B is right on. I don't think they ever performed this song perfectly, but the transition from Wheel>Gimme Some is absolutely sublime, perhaps even the most underrated transition the band ever performed. Brilliant. Take a half point off for Bobby's out of tune falsetto screeching at the end (which is very much on purpose and not meant to be taken seriously), but even so this one is deserving of a far higher ranking than it has right now.

I was a doubter too, but no longer, Best/most surprising thing about this version is that Jerry's voice doesn't sound like a frog getting pureed in a blender, as most anything post 1991 does. It's not quite the level of 10/10/82 (my all time favorite) but an upper echelon version for certain.

Really impressed with this. Most early versions have me saying "meh" but this one has some extra Jerry guitar work and a lovely rolling gait to it. Nice recommend.

Real under the radar version here & what really oughta drive you to check it out is Keith's super-great fills. Best version of '76 right here w/ great Jerry vocals.

One more comment on the interesting point Catalonia and Darkstar67 were making about first version bias for sources/tapes you may have had early on and coveted...I probably....OK, definitely have to admit I suffer somewhat from that. One of my earliest tapes (and no great source existed then OR now) was Lehigh 9/25/81 and for years I thought that was the greatest Scarlet>Fire, Sugar Mag & Black Peter versions ever. I realized only later that while those versions do hold up (and I'll always defend them as excellent) they're not really best-evers and I can see how others would maybe even shrug (not the Peter, though, that's just killer). Anyway, it is interesting how an old tape carries some extra sentimental value that likely adds a subjective extra star to your review that otherwise might not have been there if you didn't have the attachment.
