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

They Love Each Other
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

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

Ramble On Rose

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Feb. 3, 1979
Market Square Arena

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star
Jan. 20, 1979
Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.
Pretty Peggy O
Jan. 17, 1979
New Haven Coliseum

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
Casey Jones
Jan. 15, 1979
Springfield Civic Center

Great vocals and solo
Black Peter
Jan. 5, 1979
The Spectrum

Exceptional guitar solo
