Whole band clicks into the groove 45 seconds in and just watch it take off.

Bobby makes Pig proud with this version. I bet Jerry took his eyes off the floor for this one. Thanks to DEADOLOGY for this one (great read).

When playing like this is captured by pristine audio you want to thank everyone involved. Hold on to your hat for this one!

While Jerry doesn't take this one out for a spin like later shows in '77, this version has a more swinging groove than most.

Jerry is worth a listen on this one. He doesn't want to stop.

This is the one. 8/6 has the crowd, this has Phil to fuel Jerry's fire. Great mix.
