Drags at first, but Jer's soloing builds beautifully on his new Wolf. Historical if only for that but also a passionate, sweet version.

Jer's b-day. Sweet jamming version with great vocals, in spite/because of what sounds like a cold/sore throat. Brilliant show all around.

Closes 1st set with a smooth but up-and-jumping version.

Jumping version capping off a blazingly great show. With a nice mellow outro, too. The crowd and the boys just seem so full of joy and love.

The boys experimented with Lucy till they dropped her and this here's a gritty gutbucket blues version. Essential '73 for you Lucy chasers out there.

So nice to have Bobby clear in the mix. Some times I think that his contribution is systematically undervalued as he's so consistently lost in the mix. This one is the exception though, and watch what he does.... Just beautiful throughout it.

The sweetness and youth in Jerry's voice, contrasted with the desperado lyrics and the gentleness of the - yes - heartbreakingly gorgeous playing contribute to making this one 'desert island' quality.

Plus it's acoustic Pig, which is pretty cool.

Seriously grinding rocker.

Slinky and stripped down to its bare essence. This is a great version and a strong showing for those heads who dig '70 above all others.
