Bobby makes Pig proud with this version. I bet Jerry took his eyes off the floor for this one. Thanks to DEADOLOGY for this one (great read).

When playing like this is captured by pristine audio you want to thank everyone involved. Hold on to your hat for this one!

While Jerry doesn't take this one out for a spin like later shows in '77, this version has a more swinging groove than most.

3 votes hunh. That is crazy talk. Listen to this again people and try to resist your hand from voting this one up the chute. My favorite?...tough to say but I like it more than half of the ones presently above this.

Definitely. This is the divine meat to a delicious St. Stephen/Turn On Your Love Light Sandwich. The band is possessed right here.

This is the one. 8/6 has the crowd, this has Phil to fuel Jerry's fire. Great mix.
