Next Time You See Me
Aug. 7, 1971
Golden Hall

John Mayer just picked this version on XM23 as representative of Jerry’s blues chops. That’s good enough for me.
Stella Blue

Winterland Arena

The silence of the crowd is what gets me…. Totally absorbed into the emotion Jerry portrays with his voice and his playing. Bobby’s subtle contributions are great too. The “Just Exactly Perfect Brothers Band” rarely sounded more perfect.

Berkeley Community Theater

Love this version! Between Jerry’s clearly sung vocals and Keith’s stellar piano, what’s not to love? Seek it out and have a listen for yourself!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 26, 1987
Hartford Civic Center

The band opened up the throttle on this one! Everyone firing on all cylinders and the crowd responds appreciatively. Extremely underrated version - check it out!
Eyes Of The World

Dane County Coliseum

After listening to Jerry’s intro, I don’t even care what comes after…
