Complete with kickin' cow bell, nice long intro, easily one of the best you'll find.

Give it a spin before Santa comes...Pig does Chuck Berry and Kris Kringle proud!

DP Vol. 7 in London...special hard-core ROCK&ROLL kick-ass version, as if to remind the good folks across the Pond what happened 200 years earlier.

Like every song in this vastly underrated show: Just Exactly Perfect.

Normally not a song I take much notice of...but Keith just takes over this puppy and turns it into a rollicking good time!

No version of this combo is more in need of a clean SBD. It would have many more votes if one existed. The AUDs in circulation do their best but frankly the music suffers for what's lost in the mix. Too bad, b/c this is a barn burner of the highest order.

Gave a full listen to this again and it's moved up to #1 in my book. Jerry shreds, Brent goes lightning on the keys, and Phil simply rules the universe on this version. Unbelievably insane driving-hard bass line that propels the entire tune. Sensational stuff.

Need to add some more thoughts on this after a straight shot of listening to its 1/2 hour of awesomeness. When we get to the first verse, Bob completely butchers it. I mean, in spectacular fashion. He tries to backtrack and recover and none of it works, and here's thing--not only does it not matter, it actually is somehow fitting. Usually it annoys me no end when Jerry or Bob screw up the words but this particular version is so completely about the jamming that the lyrics hardly matter at all. They could in fact have played this like one of the wordless Dark Star versions and it would have been just fine. The jazz sensibilities in this version melt into a gorgeous, quiet yet melodic section that sounds like a ballad Jerry wrote that Hunter never quite put words to...it's that beautiful...and Phil's bass solo contains the Other One theme almost completely throughout so it's not aimless or "Seastone-ish" as some others are. That leads back into a hard charging main theme and Bobby finally getting the lyrics right for verse two. This is an astonishing version and easily has made it into my Top 3 all time.

The franklins portion does go on too long and sputters at parts. Agree with quinn it's not as tight as 8/13/75 and while it's still overall quite good (has that Classic May '77'sound) it still ranks to my ears behind several other versions including 4/23/77 and 6/9/77

It's still the best of the best. Tight as as a studio version but with all the jamming and energy of a great live performance, which of course it was. They never did a better one.
