Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

They Love Each Other

Cumberland County Civic Center

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

So sorry to hear it NJ!

Madison Square Garden

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.

Love Jerry playing Woody Woodpecker at about 5 minutes in. They get down to business in the jam. Love Bobby's playing throughout.
