Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.
To Lay Me Down

Radio City Music Hall

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.
Brokedown Palace

Radio City Music Hall

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
He's Gone

Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
