Get the f--k outta here, no one's listed this. This one's got an infectious groove. Bobby works the slide sweetly. Crank it.

Rockin' mid section and climatic build-up. Lots of crowd energy

Surprised this isn't here. Jerry rocks the acoustic on this unique and awesome version. Around 8:45 he really goes to town.

Excellent shit. Around 11:30 you even get a hint of Rush's Cygnus X-1 action.

I love the piano at the beginning, wish they would have added a few more bars before kicking in to the song. The Foolish Heart preceding SoC is pretty good too.

Difficult to compare '77 and '78 EP because it wasn't until '78 that the mid-section jam really exploded and became a location of tremendous peaking for the song.

Jerry's really putting his heart into these vocals. Ooh, Ooh, Ooh run and see!

This should be in the top five versions, at least. Beautiful, spacey, heady jam with intense build up and climax. Video is on youtube.
