Pure mad mental, as we used to say in Scotland. WOW, they really just let rip. Good track to dance to if you need to work of some high energy

Not a song I usually go for, but this version(listen to Rob Bertrando's AUD recording) is well done, beautifully sung, delicate playing. Very Good

Head this one up the charts. starts all slow and determined. Really strong you know, controlled. JERRY precise, THEN........... head down, hair shaking BOOGIE. Who said Jerry couldn't rock n roll? Keith in his barreling 8 to the bar JUST THE BIZ.

All too often this song is a disappointment-but not tonight folks! A really great show from start(one of the best Help>slipknot>Franklin's , a great TMNS to end a blazing 1st set then a good solid 2nd set with an excellent stand alone Scarlet Begonias, and ending here. Jerry is all guns blazing and slips into Jonny B Goode at one point. UJB well performed and well sung as an encore

Just listening to this and downloading the whole show. What a way to start. This H>S>F needs more listens and a lot more up votes. 29 minutes of bounce and bliss. 1977 Jerry on fire and the whole band roaring along behind.
