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.

Jai-Alai Fronton

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

At 4:20 (really) of the SB there's an incredible Bobby-Jerry moment

Huge emotion in the singing and playing. Great drumming, great playing by Brent who shines throughout this remarkable show

Burning, relentless, scary. What more do you want to start a great show?

Powerful singing and great interplay between Jerry and Phil during the solo
