They sound angry at this show and in a good way. It really suits the song. Bobby sings it great. I love the downbeat inflection on "in LA."

From the cold depths of 1982. Powerful, imaginative solo with surprising twists and turns. Listen to the matrix.

Jerry's playing is sharp as hell. Incredible sounding AUD for this show too.

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry
Mama Tried

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Dec. 27, 1979
Oakland Auditorium

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 10, 1979
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Jerry really nails the solo in Scarlet and is in control throughout. Great transition with stabbing accents by Bobby. Outrageous end to FOTM.
