Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

On The Road Again
Oct. 27, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.
To Lay Me Down
Oct. 27, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.
Brokedown Palace

Radio City Music Hall

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
He's Gone
Sept. 26, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
