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.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Dear Mr. Fantasy

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

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.

From the first phrase of the first solo you can tell Jerry is on it. And it just keeps getting better.

This is all over the place and I mean that in a good way. Especially Phil.
