Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

They Love Each Other

Cumberland County Civic Center

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

This is an insane version. Would be much higher if there was a SBD.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Great first solo and then everyone kills it in the jam, especially Bobby, Phil and Jerry
Ship of Fools

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

When Jerry wasn't paying attention (for whatever reason), it manifested itself in dropped beats. What he does at the end of this tune is not good.

Really interesting what Jerry plays during the verses and Bob's approach to the intro.
Ramble On Rose

Horton Field House - Illinois State University

Huge version has everything you need.
