The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

The Spectrum

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob forgets the words, which gives Jerry a chance to improvise quite nicely until Bob remembers where he is.

Mellow version. Bob singing in hushed tones.
Deep Elem Blues

Radio City Music Hall

The quality of the audience recording improves quickly. The vocals aren't too sharp, but Jerry plays this in a style that deviates from the norm. Worth a listen for the guitar work alone.

Capitol Theater

Jerry's guitar work gives this a Mexican feel that is lost later on. Unfortunately, the audience recording mars a good portion of this tune.

I like Jerry's guitar intro. Very good vocals. A strong performance.
