Super-fun + life-affirming closer to a blast of a show!

Powerful version from another under-appreciated spring ‘78 show.

I mean, it’s this one, Baltimore 4 days later or DeKalb on 10/29. I’ve given up, who cares. Phil is runnin’ the show, they’re all rippers.

Absolutely top-5 all-time version, and probably higher than that. Another great goes unnoticed, unfortunately. What a show, what a start!

Rippin’ version! It actually sounds like Jerr gets a little surprised as they pop into the last chorus quicker than he’s expecting, but he pulls it off, of course. All-timer!

2nd one in a week - 8/4, St. Louis & U. 8/10, U. of Iowa -, but the only two between ‘79 and ‘85. And both are jammin’ + on, though not as exploratory as earlier versions.
