I know its only 25 seconds as it goes into the greatest Bertha of all time, but each member plays the riff at some point.

Killer version in this great first set. Beauty of a setlist.

Absolute definitive version....Phil is huge on the digital download. Killer opener....epic transition into Iko and cool reprise later. Way more inspired due to its opener status. Bruce kills it to.

Great call...this show is killer. Maybe the best of the run.

You could call this best ever and it sits at three votes. This show amazes me more and more with each listen. I don't listen to the first set as much as the second, but this set cooks from probably the best Straw from 77 to this PL. Don't get me started on the second set. I honestly don't know if there is a better show from 77 than this.
