I'll be damned. Not here yet. Fantastic jam with Jerry following Bobby's jabs and turns. Also notable because Bobby doesn't trip over the words in Sup

Sometimes you know a tune will be heady on the first note. The crowd seems to know it too. Killer solo.

Uptown Theatre

Ass-kicking version, beautifully sung. Notable in that every note of Bobby's slide playing is exactly in tune.

Always looking for the great middle jams in this tune. This one is long, meandering, dreamy

Madison Square Garden

Fantastic solo. Cutting, percussive, angry. The riff he plays at the beginning of the second chorus is a monster. Then it's quieter, melodic, settling in triplets until, big surprise, Jerry remembers the words to the Crazy Otto verse.

Yeah the last jam is crazy, crazy, crazy great. What Phil and Bobby are doing, wow.
New Minglewood Blues

Keith killing it

Jerry comes out swinging right away in the jam. It's short but beautiful, with structure and balance like a composition

The Palladium

Jerry is flying and his tone sounds amazing in this aud. Piles of ideas. And it's unusual to hear him play completely unaccompanied as he does into Wharf Rat
