This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

I think it lacks some of the nuances of tempo and texture their performances would come to have, but I'm up voting for Jerry's heart-stoppingly emotive vocals.

Jerry really captures the cowboy vibe of this, and his playing is hot. Listen to young Bobby.

Really hot stuff. Jerry patiently grows several long phrases.
