Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

I'll help you out, cgarces! This version is hot, as is the whole show, which is my favourite of '77 as well. I share your praise for 2/13/70 and 5/11/72 as well!

Too bad they didn't try this more often in '74...very beautiful, tender rendition.

Just got the Pacific Northwest '73-'74 box set and threw this on...very nice version.

Slinky indeed. Neat to have Jerry playing the organ part during the verses on this one. One of my favourite Pig raps as well...
