Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Dec. 30, 1991
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

This has always been my favorite song that Phil did. What I like here is that he doesn't stretch out the last word in a line. When he does that, he can come off sounding like a moose, but here they are short and crisp.

This one is kinda slow and spacey. It actually starts with a tuneup and when you're not expecting it, Bob hits the vocals. He sounds really good here, especially at the end of the song. But the real highlight is when Mister Hornsby takes the lead. He puts forth a sparkling solo and after a while, Jerry tries to step in, but Bruce cuts him off and says "I'm not done yet!" and he closes it out in beautiful style and fashion. This is just one of many gems from the Hornsby era. It's a shame more people don't listen to this stuff.

They're playing this really fast, as in "Let's get the hell outta here!" fashion.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

At times, Jerry's singing is passionate. On his second pass on the instrumental break, he puts in some cool guitar work.

Solid Bobby vocals and a double turn for Jerry in the instrumental break.
