Jerry nails the lyrics, nice interplay with Brent and Jerry, and a great crowd reaction. Seriously fun version.

Road Trips Vol. 3, No. 4. There is something about that Hammond Organ that makes this song like a church hymn. Strong version.

Nucking Futs way to end a show! Pig invites the crowd up to help in the rap on his mic and say whatever they want!

Explodes out of a rockin' St. Stephen and carries that energy all the way through to Lovelight. I'm shocked their equipment didn't spontaneously erupt

Fuzzy recording but the energy on this Stephen cannot be denied.

I don't know. It's a little too Disco-Dead for what is, ostensibly, a country song and Bobby flubs a few of the lyrics. I'll take 8-21-1972. Just my opinion.

Definitely my favorite. "Grabbed a bottle, racked him in the jaw" line is awesome.

Is it Mickey on a xylophone or a secondary synth for Brent that hits those diamond-like drops of musical goodness throughout "Lady With a Fan"? Really good version. Maybe not best ever, but really freaking good!

The outro jam with Jerry forcing the band to keep up to his pace is awesome. Just picked this show up with the May '77 box. Excited to see what else I'm in for.

An amazing version that ends an amazing show. Get the whole show on tape if you can. It is absolutely amazing.
