Best Loser you haven’t heard yet! Jerry takes the solo for an extra walk around the block! Required listening folks!

Jerry’s tone is just impeccable here! Moreover, Jerry adds a tad more umph to the soulful vocals. A standout of the era!

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.

Jerry's pipes never sounded sweeter, and Keith's barrel-house piano chops complements perfectly!

Deserves mention.

Dancin' in the Streets
May 11, 1978
Springfield Civic Center Arena

It's obvious the band were having a good time tonight (perhaps up to a little mischief?!). This version cooks funky and raunchy. Turn your knob to 11 and rock out!
