Very lyrical and melodic playing by Jerry. A pretty unique version, one of my favorites.

An awesomely unique solo; minor flub, but no matter! Smoking version!!

Big River
Opens the show. It's starts out swampy like Jerry reed on Amos Moses. Check it out folks

Sugaree
Great instrument separation you can hear everyone very nicely. Phil has some shining moments.

Mexicali Blues
Everyone sounds so good Jerry gets lots of licks off and Keith sounds upfront a bit more

Black Throated Wind
I love Keith for this one. Has that long piano trill in the perfect spot, he smokes this song.

Me and My Uncle
That humming I described in China cat has turned into feedback by now they pretty much get it figured out by the end but bobs still hot
1
Jack Straw
Everything is mixed really well on the other hand the singing isn't the best they've done
1
El Paso
Great energy pick up.
2
Deal

It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Great slower-paced song after 5 hot ones in this great second set
