Brown Eyed Women

Spartan Stadium - San Jose State University

2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Mexicali Blues

The Spectrum

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

The Spectrum

All of the above comments are true. I checked and Jerry really goes “Big Dawg” here.
Jack Straw

The Centrum

Bobby biffs the final verse because Jerry ripped everyone's face off with his solo - Oh mi dios!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Nov. 13, 1978
Music Hall

One of those nights where Jerry SOARS on certain tunes, Peggy-O, Jack Straw and this Half-Step are exhibits 1,2&3.
Stagger Lee
Nov. 13, 1978
Music Hall

Raw and biting solo the way I like'em, I love Stagger Lee's but so, so many can be disasters (tempo?). This one keeps the momentum going and Jer's dialed up hotlicks this evening. BDub's' slide is palatable too..
Friend of the Devil
Nov. 1, 1977
Cobo Arena
