Yeah, this is one of *the* heady versions of Peggy-O. Jerr especially emotional and taking ethereal solos. Spring ‘78 just keeps on givin’.

Yup, dats da stuff, right there. Gets its tendrils in ya and doesn’t let go.

All-timer - bar-the-F-none - if ya into wackiness. Jerr’s tone just blazing all night. (The Stagger from this show is also an all-timer).

FWIW, Jerr played both a TB500 with the 3 P90 single coils and the TB1000A with TB custom dual humbuckers that he gave to Ramrod and was auctioned not too long ago, I believe.

Complete insanity that is so low. 3rd best version, after 4/24/78 and 9/4/83. Powdered versions or GTFO. Full stop. Original comment: “You’ve gotta listen to this one. Listen. Jerr throws in three bubbling leads in that first solo. I mean, ya gotta be paying attention. He’s going off, very subtly. Amazing.”
