One of those shows where everyone was on and they just seemed to be having fun.Rocking version with Jerry going off and the Wall of Sound to boot.

Bobby doesn't get too carried away as he could be prone to and Jerry's guitar is perfect.

This may be my favorite along with every other one they played in the May of 77 pretty amazing when you consider they did the song for over 20 years.
