Some of the slower/monotonous songs can present challenges, especially when it comes to getting the whole band on the same page. Not here. Everyone is in sync and Jerry is on fire, rendering a gorgeous version that soars above others on all fronts. This is the GOAT right here.

Bob's guitar work here is brilliant.

As slammin' as Jerry's main solo is, the final break features some gorgeous, subtle Bob-Jerry interplay that absolutely can't be missed. Stunning version.
Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

For my money, this is best-jammed Wharf Rat there is.

I dig what Keith is throwing down alongside Bob's Descending chord progression on the big jam.
