Great early-70s vibe on this (esp. w/ Moore's AUD). Honky-tonk Keith!

Love the double opener, typically great playing from the time. Keith fans esp. should know this Palladium run.

Never really expands beyond the song’s material, but hard and well-played. Hear in context of set 2.

This just put me in two places at once. Calendar cycles.

Yes! Organic. Hive mind. Collective consciousness. Truly special stuff.

Surprised more people haven't commented on this! Some great playing, lots to listen to.

I personally thought this Bertha > GL was the weakest part of the show, but that's just me. I agree that this is a serious contender for the best of '77, though. The entire show is killer.

Just wanted to add that after living with this version for a while and checking out the whole show, I really like this version. Truly phenomenal playing.
