North side of Chicago. It was the tour for the second album. They opened with Lady Writer, which I think is my 2nd favorite DS tune.
We had 5th or 6th row dead center. Got lucky with that outcome!

This song was so good, it became a hit DURING DISCO.
Nearly every good guitar player I ever knew felt they had to learn these solos. Even if they never intended to perform it. The solo is just that unique.
