Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

^Yeah, it is a strong Keith version. Whole-heartedly agree that it shouldn't be #1 though -- that honour belongs to 5/17/77 Tuscaloosa IMO.

This is sometimes a "meh" song for me (although it's been growing on me recently), but this version wowed me today.

Great version and a great little solo from Keith!

Brisk, crisp and beautiful...like a sunset drive through the Nebraska cornfields it was played in.

Very well- and carefully-sung by Bobby. Nice!
