One of the earliest live versions ever and boy oh boy is Jerry into it. Belts out the lyrics. Quick tempo & a real joy to hear!

Weird how little folks seem to care at all about this tune. I love it & Brent does the Neville Bros. proud w/this version--as good as it gets.

First there were only AUDs available, but now that a sweet CM SBD is up you oughta check out this sweet '78!

Rippingly good early version with Keith way out front. Jerry and the whole crew rock it hard!

Great cadence to this one and some cool reverb effects lend a trippy mesmerizing feel to this fine entry from the Fox. Get the CM SBD source.

Went right to this after seeing the enthusiastic exchange above and was not disappointed. Early Keith showing off his chops. Plus I discovered an equally great Ramble on Rose at this show too.

It's a wonderful version, but I'm not giving it an upvote b/c it's already in 2nd place and sorry, uh-uh, NO WAY,--as wonderful as this version is for its delicate Keith piano playing and nice vocals--NO WAY is it better than any version from '77 on in which they extend the jam and charge into the final verse with emotion, power and precision. Just doesn't even come close. There are plenty of versions under this one on the list that provide all the precision playing and interplay rightly pointed out as being present in this one, but that also have the excitement of THE JAM heading into "Witchita" that this one--and any version pre-'77--simply lacks. Virtually any version on this list directly below this one blows it away...and some should even be much much higher (10/29/77, 6/4/78, 5/10/78) all tear this one to shreds (and those are just the ones I suggested and am shamelessly plugging now; there are plenty others that others have suggested that are equally as good--except for 10/29/77, which is the best ;-) & the one thing they all have in common is that they exceed and should be higher than this fine version (best of '72) but that's all it is--best from a year in which this song hadn't yet reached its full potential.

I've come around on this one. Long, spacey (in a good way) and gooey. Contemplative, mellow, but never boring. Elements of 6/22/73 but at least from the GD soundtrack a much cleaner version than Vancouver. This one is also great for repeat listening because you'll pick up something different each time.

^^^^ Agree completely that it can't touch those two you mentioned...the gold & silver medal winners of all time, but it's far better than a lot of other RJ's on this list. I just think it should be much higher as a result. No surprise given the date...the Winterland run to end the year was pretty spectacular & this version doesn't derail that at all. Thanks for giving it a listen, if not an upvote. I'm still going to make the case, though...

Gonna really start annoying people by posting about this amazing version until somebody gives it a damn listen! It canNOT sit around with two votes. Just can't.
