Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Nice rolling, patient, mellow version. Just flows along. I dig

Capitol Theater

Filthy, filthy blues licks. Dig this track a lot - not sure why it never made it into rotation. Like a slower tempo Mr. Charlie
Don't Think Twice

Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Odd heaviness to the rhythm guitar and Dylan vocals. Jerry hits a nice solo though. Interesting to hear as an anomaly, if anything
Goodnight Irene

Civic Auditorium

Not super clean, but definitely fun! I always loved this as a Jerry tune - great to see it was played by the boys. Encore slot is perfect placement

Dean Smith Center - University of North Carolina

Flawless version. This got a lot of spins in the nono household this weekend. Jerry is ON for this one
