New Minglewood Blues

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

On The Road Again
Oct. 27, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.
To Lay Me Down
Oct. 27, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.
Brokedown Palace
Oct. 26, 1980
Radio City Music Hall

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
He's Gone
Sept. 26, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
