Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

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...

Seems to have a bit more punch to it than usual...nice!
