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.

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

Jerry forgets more words than he remembers but as often happens in such cases the solos are burning - especially the second one over the verses and the second one in the coda.
They Love Each Other
April 8, 1982
Onondaga Auditorium

Jerry's solo really sneaks up on you. Listen to the crowd lose it with the way he starts the last chorus.

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Great solo. You know Jerry's feeling it when he plays an extra chorus
They Love Each Other
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Great example of what makes Phil such a genius
