Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

Samson and Delilah

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Builds and builds and Jerry sticks the dagger in at the end
Space
Sept. 15, 1982

Jerry quotes Miles Davis's Freedom Jazz Dance, which he used to play with Merle
Man Smart, Woman Smarter

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

The phrase Jerry plays in the transition at around 10:30 kills me, a searching little melody and its response with the volume pedal
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
July 25, 1982
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot
