Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

Tight and upbeat, energetic soloing, but at the same time relaxed and controlled.

Fall 79' was damn good, This version keeps with the consistency of the month. Executed with soulful driving energy.

Hot as can be, this song might be harder to jam on then others, but nevertheless the quick jams are energetic, and this one certainly does not disappoint.
