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!

Right on, Carrion, Donna was great this whole run. This show is a perfect slow groove, with this High Time played AFTER Stephen ) Eyes ) LIG . . . Unbelievable stuff

Jerry's second slide solo is unreal. My go-to Jimmy, along with 77-03-20. Perfectly described by Cuse above. Have absolutely no idea why this only has two votes, as this tape definitely makes the rounds . . .

If you want to hear Jerry at his best vocally, listen to this.

Great version, this one gets pretty nasty, thanks for the rec.

Carrion Crow hit the nail on the head: incredibly shredding good time vibe! Listen now at all costs!
