One of the more languid takes on this one. Although Jerry's voice is shot, it works. Notable for 2 runs through the solo, both of them stellar.

Explosive jam makes this one a bit unique. Not as smooth and complex as some later versions, but synergy and chops by all.

Smokes from head to tail. No SBD, or this would be top 5 with ease.

I fully expect this one to rise in popularity once the BBD arrives.

Long Beach Arena

Nice AUD has Jerry up front. Great solo in SB, transition is interesting, with nice cascading riffs, followed by a Hot FOTM.

Sounds rewarding. Take notes and make a spread sheet!

Really needs more love. I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed with this performance.

It was all bunk after Dana Morgan, Jr. split.

Off the top of my dome - 7/3/1978-soon to see an upgrade via the July '78 box. 5/5 and 9/12 1981. The Pauline AUD of 10/15/1984 is pretty fabulous, in sound and performance.
