Jerry's voice was still weak from laryngitis, but his guitar made up for it, ripping and roaring!

Friday the 13th, super brief, but it's there between Dancin' and Wharf Rat, both great versions!

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 1, 1977
Paramount Theatre

Jerry shreds the roof off the joint, then steps back, takes a breath, and blows the roof off the place even more!!!! This tune sometimes suffers from the band never quite being in sync with Jerry as he rips through the coda jam…. They sometimes miss the transitions that need to happen to make this just near exactly perfect…. But 77 was a great year for this tune and this might be the best of the year, despite early vocal stuff, etc…….
