It sounds like Jerry wants to kill the song 3 times, but Bob pushes for more.

The Centrum

Bob forgets the words, which gives Jerry a chance to improvise quite nicely until Bob remembers where he is.

Mellow version. Bob singing in hushed tones.
Deep Elem Blues

Radio City Music Hall

The quality of the audience recording improves quickly. The vocals aren't too sharp, but Jerry plays this in a style that deviates from the norm. Worth a listen for the guitar work alone.

Capitol Theater

Jerry's guitar work gives this a Mexican feel that is lost later on. Unfortunately, the audience recording mars a good portion of this tune.

Community War Memorial Auditorium

I like Jerry's guitar intro. Very good vocals. A strong performance.
