The band tries to kill the pre-SSDD jam, but Jerry is having no part of it and he plays on.

Jerry got some serious boogie goin' on. How did this gem escape our attention for so long?

Day Job

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Although he doesn't take the lead in an instrumental break, he puts in some perfectly timed work, lifting the song to a higher level. The drumming at times sounds like Ron Tutt. To underscore the humor intended in the song, give a listen to the final note Jerry closes the show with. Priceless.

I've always liked this song. I never understood why people couldn't see the humor in it. Save your hatred for Black Muddy River. At least Day Job leaves you in a bouncy, upbeat mood.
Victim Or The Crime

Boston Garden

I love it how this one has a jam that builds up, thunder crashes, the jam slows down, starts to dissolve, then moves into Crazy Fingers. Boston 1991 was a great run!
Brokedown Palace

Stanley Theatre

Excellent. There's just a bit of Jerry and Bob's vocals being slightly mistimed and Jerry's voice starts to crackle and die towards the end.
Don't Ease Me In

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

This show didn't get to rockin' until this gem came along. This isn't just filler coming in as the 6th song of the first set. Jerry seriously rocks. He is joined by Keith, who wraps things up and lets Phil play it out with Jerry. Really good stuff.
