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...

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Phil's high harmony parts sound great here!

Really good, clean version. Some truly hilarious banter as they're adjusting their monitors before launching into it too...what a way to kick off the new box set!

Came on after 1/11/79 JS thanks to YouTube autoplay while I was in the shower and I had to jump out to see which show it was LOL...scorcher!
