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.

Swear those SBD cuts always happen during the most beautiful times. Happened during THREE of my favorite GDTRFBs, including this one, Buffalo 77, and Winterland 10/21/78, and my favorite Stella, 10/21/78 Winterland :,( Guess the SBD couldn’t handle all that hot fire!!

WOW WOW. I totally forgot ABB sat in with them at this show until I heard this and thought “wow Bobby’s solo sounds awfully like ABB here…. Wait a second…” This is incredible.
