This one and 12/30/77 are so underrated its criminal. While I don't think they're on the level of the true giants of '77, being 9/3 & 10/29, they're not far off either. This one in particular has got a really, really nice flowing intro with Phil all over it in the beginning before he gives way to the inevitable Jerry noodles. The first jam is pretty standardly great '77 Jerry, but the second jam is where this one really takes off in terms of peaks. With this show being a dick's pick's release, it sort of confuses me that it's not higher- listen to this one again if you've overlooked it in the past.

Bumping this one again- needs to be top 5! I don't feel that there's anything you can knock this one for- incredible solo sections in the first half and an equally strong outro, which is rare for '73. The first solo from Jer is just rhythmically breathtaking, he accents the perfect notes and pulls out some incredibly creative lines that are unlike anything I've ever heard him play. While there's *parts* of other '73 versions that I think stand up to this one, I don't think any other '73 version has anything on this one as a whole. Going beardless may have given Jer a new perspective on this song, lol. On a sidenote, this is also one of Bobby's best eyes performances- just check the beginning of the second break.

Amazing- just more '77 gold. I actually prefer this one to Colgate. Bobby's messing with some neat single-note riffs instead of the usual strumming in the intro and Jerry sounds as melodic and sweet as ever.

Wow. Just heard this one for the first time- so underrated. Serious energy in the first solo, as well as a predictably incredible intro à la '77. The AUD sources are great- almost like an AUD heavy matrix- so no reason this shouldn't be higher.
