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.

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

No doubt the ending jam is everything promised, probably the best I've heard...but the middle, spacey jam section is not up to snuff, which is where TMNS really must be judged. This song didn't reach breakout capability in that regard until Denver, '77, with peak performances in '78 & '80.

Beautiful China Cat as well! Jerry's firing on all pistons

Love it as well, just wish Donna's mic was clipped during the solo. Her outbursts are distracting.

10:20+ Jerry really delivers in a sweet, mellow way

Nice funky jam in the mid section, atypical. Well executed.
