Pauley Pavilion

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

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).

Tempo problems and a weird set ender.

There's a new upgrade of this at LMA. I've always loved the fully organic way this grows from the tuning and evolves into the two-headed dragon of Phil and Jerry's feedback.

Eyes > Estimated > Franklin's. Jerry seems like he runs out of a gas a bit during the between-verse jams, but then he doesn't.
