Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Very strong encore version at a great, seemingly underrated show.

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

Death Don't Have No Mercy

Fillmore West

This wasn't played on the 27th...
They Love Each Other
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

I prefer the fast versions, so I disagree with this being #1, but it is undoubtedly a great version and one of the best of the slow versions.
Terrapin Station

Swing Auditorium

^Yeah, it is a strong Keith version. Whole-heartedly agree that it shouldn't be #1 though -- that honour belongs to 5/17/77 Tuscaloosa IMO.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Feb. 26, 1973
Pershing Municipal Auditorium

This is sometimes a "meh" song for me (although it's been growing on me recently), but this version wowed me today.
Big River

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

Great version and a great little solo from Keith!
