Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

This song never really made sense to me before listening to this one. Really out-there groove

Jerry's fingers dance relentlessly, intertwined with everyone for about 18 minutes straight. Jazzy. Hot.

Jerry doin' his best (better) Roy Nichols on this one. HEAT

Speeeedy! This one is hot, it's only Keith's third show but it sounds as if he wrote the damn song, tickling the ivories with Jer picking away hard
