Very energetic version from a period when that wasn't a given.

A surprisingly powerful version, JG very passionate and on-top of it. Especially given it had to follow a LWTGH which fizzled into nothing.

Very powerful Bobby on this one: his acoustic pairs nicely with strong vocals. And great support from the band & Hornsby as well.

My favorite of the 77-79 style. Gorgeous solos by JG. Band in top form.

Sam Boyd Silver Bowl
Nice long version from a solid second set.
Blues For Allah
March 23, 1975
Kezar Stadium
This whole show is one big jam, and worth checking out. Transition from Blues for Allah to Stronger than Dirt is superb.

Maybe you've heard of it, and think it's overrated. (I did for a long time). But listen to it: it's not. Maybe you prefer the softer 72-74 versions (as I do), and think this lacks subtlety. It does not. Whatever you think about Cornell 77, it cannot be denied that this is a truly titanic version. Essential listening.

I remember being in a car and listening to this: when they hit the as-yet undeveloped D-key jam in the middle, and sort of hang in the air I felt like this was about as good as it could get. Superior version, and always my favorite.
