DSOTM # 115 - 1/10/78

This months podcast comes to us a few days after Jerry had some mean throat issues... so bad in fact, he couldn't sing in San Diego. Well, here in LA he's back, a little rough around the edges, and the band makes up for it with some tight intensity!  At half-time we show our respect to the Purple One, with some amazing jamming from a Club Show. I hope you all are doing well!
