The "middle solo" in this version is just stunningly climactic!

Jerry's solo builds fantasticly to a huge melodic power peak. One of the best Jerry solos I've ever heard on this song BY FAR.

Roars like a freight train; Jerry is just ripping up the fretboard! My favorite of '78 so far...

OMG...I had to completely stop what I was doing while listening to this one. Totally outrageous Jerry noodling nirvana!!!

WOW. If you dig the legendary 1/22/78 St. Steve jam, you must hear this. NOW. This one might be even better. One of my favorite post-hiatus versions!!

Wow, thanks for this rec!!!! This is easily one of my new favorites. Jerry is just INSANE.

Monster version indeed, very emotional playing. Be sure to check out 5/11/77, though. Might be a little better, and is easily one of my new favorites thanks to Grendel.

Excellent show opener. Jerry's playing is very melodic, almost lilting.
