Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

Jerry unleashes an incredible torrent of notes with about a minute to go in this one. Beautiful opening as well.

They play this like a super-swung Ramble On Rose!

In addition to everything already mentioned, Jerry’s vocals on Rider are incredible! Sounding like 1970 at times.
