Pauley Pavilion

The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

Assembly Hall

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Total zig in the setlist.
Dancin' in the Streets

Lloyd Noble Center - University of Oklahoma

It's not just the great long never-ending jam, it's also the exceptional vocal outro before the jam.

This is killer stuff. Dark edged.
Bird Song
Sept. 10, 1972
Hollywood Palladium

One of the three best versions of this song. Criminally underrated.
El Paso

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

A desert vision amidst the Star's space.
