Jerry's vocals are rarely stronger. At one point he's growling it out like he's spittin' nails.

Kicking off a killer 2nd set, with a beautiful outro and a smooth smooth jam.

In spite of some tuning problems, this one cooks. This whole set showcases Jerry's fast frets. Great stuff.

Sweet master class on background soloing with Jerry's lickety-split runaway desperado fretwork backing Bobby up.

This starts with understated, almost hesitant steps, then builds into a towering emotional rage. Its arc fits its words. Great stuff.

The pace, throb, and intensity alone puts this in a special category. Add the rocking fills that Jer puts behind the driving (truck in') rhythm, the tires whapping pavement sense, and that killerdiller solo mentioned above and hell yeah, this is world class stuff. Ignore at your own peril.

Hey Okozmic! Welcome to the site, but really? '74? No Help-Slip-Frank? No Estimated Prophet? No Cassidy or The Wheel? I'm as curmudgeonly an old '70s head as they make 'em, but even I've been known to enjoy a Shakedown Street or a - gasp! - Terrapin Station now and again.... Cheers!

Wow. In addition to the subtle and heartfelt interpretation of the lyrics, which I've always felt were some of Dylan's best, Jerry rips a killer solo toward the end (07:54). Great great show.

Garage band extraordinaire. Good old rock and roll.

Listen and just try not singing along.
