New Minglewood Blues

Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

Jai-Alai Fronton

One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Might be the first version where Jerry solos for three choruses. Good vibes.

What they start playing at minute 17 will make you stop doing what you're doing.
