Metropolitan Sports Center

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
June 7, 1980
Folsom Field

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

Mexicali Blues
May 14, 1980
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.

Let It Grow
Dec. 27, 1982
Oakland Auditorium

Builds and builds and Jerry sticks the dagger in at the end
Space
Sept. 15, 1982
Capital Centre

Jerry quotes Miles Davis's Freedom Jazz Dance, which he used to play with Merle
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
Sept. 5, 1982
Glen Helen Regional Park

It's baffling that Bobby would turn the beat around on a tune as rhythmically straightforward as this
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 31, 1982
Manor Downs

The phrase Jerry plays in the transition at around 10:30 kills me, a searching little melody and its response with the volume pedal
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
July 25, 1982
Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot
