The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Samba In The Rain

Madison Square Garden

Admit it - there have been worse songs from Brent and Phil.

Madison Square Garden

This song can be really awesome. At times Jerry soars and shreds. All along Bruce keeps up his dominant role, with his keys rocking and sparkling.
Hell in a Bucket

Boston Garden

Towards the instrumental break, Jerry and Bruce are slugging it out. Good stuff. Bruce pushes things at the end for a powerful conclusion.

Sweet uptempo rocker, with some hot Bobby vocals and some Jerry fanning the mid-song instrumental.

This is really entertaining. You can't find a version from 1977 with better vocals, more diverse sounds or styles. 1991 had some truly great versions.
