Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Swaggering version with the more careful tempos of this first set...

One of the slowest versions I've heard, but not in a bad way...I love listening to this first set with my morning coffee.

Last time it was used as an opener until 2/17/79 Oakland! Great start to my second-favourite show of the tour...

Fitting capper to what is, IMO, a Top 10 show of their career...
