Jerry’s tone is just impeccable here! Moreover, Jerry adds a tad more umph to the soulful vocals. A standout of the era!

Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.

Jerry's pipes never sounded sweeter, and Keith's barrel-house piano chops complements perfectly!

The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

There’s a great AUD recording of this show on the archive. I highly recommend. It’s very clear and Jerry sounds a tad high in the mix - a good thing here.

It’s all about the final solo. Get the matrix - one can really hear/feel the crowds appreciation.

This version is sitting undeservingly low. It’s of the best from the 80s, no question!
