Crazy slide licks, wondeful version from a show with one of the best second sets of all time! Jerry goes nuts a little over 3 minutes in . . .

Not sure why the next night gets all the love, this one's great, too!

Best of the best of the 77-78 versions. Jerry absolutely ripping licks and vocals ... "Run and See!!" series absolutely off-the-wall, then into S. Mag

Can't believe no one posted this. Far superior to 7/17/76. Filler on the new release (Jan 2012). Comes out of Wharf Rat!

Nice version, but Jerry's voice here is just shot. A shame, cuz the band is really dialed in.

Silky . . . Jerry strikes a great tone in the solo with the Travis Bean -- love it!

Great energy, Jerry is really up and the boys work together magically throughout this tune like much of this run.

Jerry gets the words wrong a bit at the beginning, but this is my go-to Peggy-O -- the band is connected, Jerry has a lovely solo, and the groove is just perfect. Later in the set is a Row Jimmy for all-time as well. Great show.
