Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Milwaukee Auditorium

The second instrumental break, Jerry goes nutzoid, cranking it up higher and higher. A must hear version.

One of those times when everybody is playing off of what everybody else is doing.

Mexicali Blues

Winterland Arena

Bob messes up the lyrics, Jerry's guitar work goes nowhere, But wait - the quality of the recording is spectacular and the year is 1977, so we'd all better bump this sucker up, because not doing so would be heresy!!

Love those 1991 Mexicalis with Hornsby. The instrumental break is long and sweet, as we listen to some guitar, trumpet, fiddle, piano, bass and drums.

Nice version where Vince leads the way and Jerry kind of sits back and watches him.

Polka time! Jerry rips. Instrumental break gets that extra pass that makes all the difference.

It will take less than 3 minutes for you to hear this. Bob's vocals are strong and inspired. Jerry is just jamming along the whole way, especially during the instrumental break. At times, Phil adds the perfect thumps. Given that all this happens in under 3 minutes, you should definately take the time to give this a listen.
