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.

Jesus Christ. After countless different S>F listens, I honestly never entertained the idea of another version beating 5/8/77, but we've got a good contender here.

Indeed an underrated version of an overplayed song.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Ohhhh yeaaa. Great stuff. Dreamy is a good word for for the Playin #1^. But that second coming, which I consider to start when Jerry hits back on the wah out of UJB, is intense! Tiger, I say.
