One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

Oakland Auditorium

Gr8fulTerraPin nails it in the comments above. I've been listening to shows in chronological order for days now and I'm up to 1979 and the difference with the addition of Brent (and the subtraction of Donna and Keith) is huge and positive. Also Jerry is just killing it with the rockandroll.

Even Bobby's slide practice sounds decent

Bobby is jammin' out. So is Jerry, as you might have guessed.

This is what you can do with a keyboard playing motherfucker like Brent Mydland

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Great performance of a semi-novelty song. I could do without Bobby's slide practice though. At one point Jerry intervenes over Bob's slide with a much better jam to distract.
