The first is from Vince and then some really pretty playing from Bruce. After another verse, Jerry takes the lead with a slide guitar jam. Nice.
Walking Blues

Awesome guitar work from Jerry. Bruce has one of his great jams during the instrumental break.
Queen Jane Approximately

Richfield Coliseum

Phil and Bruce on accordion lead the way. Nice instrumental break featuring Jerry and Vince. Bob gets into the vocals passionately towards the end.
