Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

74 versions really captured the western tone well. Short and sweet.

Jerry calls for Bertha then proceed to royally flub the lyrics LOL. Solid bouncy version though.

Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.

Good rocking Terrapin.

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Should be much much much much further down. But kinda makes sense why it's so high. Cornell is the entry point for lots of heads and this is a darn fun song even in 77, so people likely upvote it. Then it gets overplayed and we lose interest in the "best" OMSN, thus so many better performances are down the list.

Jahrhunderthalle

Coming back to say: best in Europe and probably best ever IMHO. From maybe my personal #1 show. Forgot to upvote it when I discovered it. Glad to bump it above the Cornell one LOL, which should be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list.

Fast and tight. Ending jam is roaring. Jerry, Keith, and Phil are massively locked in
