Speedy late 70's precision. Hot relic from a sweet run. (also, trying to add 7.4.89 and keep getting an error message. Version needs recognition)

Baller Jerry track that made the jump to the big leagues. They lock in nicely to this version

I have an odd love affair for this song and Euro '72 was its peak. UK a few nights later is far superior, but this one certainly has sufficient gusto

An ethereal flight into the cosmos. This one shines beautifully. Highly recommend

If there was ever any question, the simple answer for this version is "YESSSSS." Jerry attacks each solo with vigor and ferocity. For my ears and preference, it is either this or Alaska '80. This one is just a complete Jerry-lead hose show.

jeeeesus, they likely had to hose down Jerry after this one. Just blistering assault of the song. This is a massive shredfest. Giddddddy UP

Jerry with extremely nimble fingers. Great Bobby/Brent/Jerry interplay on the transition

Really excellent weaving of melodies between Jerry, Bob, and Keith, then a massive swell into a great NFA segue. This version even has giggly "woo!" vocals from Bob. Hard to ask for more...
