Brilliant interplay between guitars. Convincing vox by Bobby.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

Park West Ski Resort

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 14, 1980
Warfield Theater

Great Scarlet solo
Candyman
Oct. 14, 1980
Warfield Theater

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 13, 1980
Warfield Theater

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.
Not Fade Away
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.
Estimated Prophet

The Sportatorium

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.
