Jerry's in primal Viola Lee mode more than per country twang.

What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Bursting with feeling and well-played by all.

Blazing version of this wild song. Lots of fun.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

Oh my god!!! This performance is absolutely competitive with the other greats from ’77! Audio quality is the only reason it’s languishing down here with just three votes. The AUD’s really not bad, though, and this is well worth hearing.

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
