Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

They Love Each Other

Cumberland County Civic Center

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

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.
