Foxboro Stadium

This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

The Other One

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

Dear Mr. Fantasy
May 5, 1990
California State University Dominguez Hills

There are surprisingly few really great versions of this tune, and this is one of them. Jerry takes his time, layering burning, melodic phrases.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
April 3, 1990
The Omni

They found the right (slower) tempo for this in later years. Also Bobby learned not to oversing. The moments when his voice fills with rage now work.

Crisler Arena

Jerry's playing simultaneously causes and scratches an itch inside your brain. Spooky comping by Bobby.

Phil kills it
Truckin'

Broome County Arena

Love how Bobby climbs to the peak. Great jam after too.

Broome County Arena

Huge 20-minute version. Jerry is full of ideas and loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide riff at almost 12 minutes in.
Stagger Lee

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Another third chorus in the solo and Jerry rips it up
Estimated Prophet
May 4, 1979
Hampton Coliseum

Jerry seizes on an interesting theme in the solo and tears it up in the coda.
