Just listened to the second set of this (GD set). This show is AWESOME! A set truly unlike any other. Why oh why didn't they play these tunes more!

This should be sitting at #1...WAYYYY more soul than 10/7. 2/18 only sits at #2 because it's the first version.

Guys and Gals! Listen to this one again on one of the super quality audience recordings that circulate. This Jimmy far exceeds most Jimmy’s out there in tone, energy and emotion…I’m a BIG fan of the 3/20/77 version for guitar playing alone but this has emotive singing, playing, all the above wrapped into one. Spring 1978 was a good year for this tune and this was the last time it was played until Egypt tour…it’s like the climatic version that built up throughout the entire tour and gushed out to those fortunate enough to be at the Uptown this particular evening…

While this is good and monumental (being the first time played) I don't think it is far and away the best version. It's tightly worked out but doesn't have the "liveness" to it yet if that makes sense.

Holy Fuck! The energy in this one. Post drums...HOT DAMN! If Soundbord existed for this one it would be numero uno. Hands down...the Ken and Judy Lee version is the one to sample. MAN!!!
