Ramble On Rose

Foxboro Stadium

This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

The Other One

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

Dear Mr. Fantasy
May 5, 1990
California State University Dominguez Hills

There are surprisingly few really great versions of this tune, and this is one of them. Jerry takes his time, layering burning, melodic phrases.

When I Paint My Masterpiece
April 3, 1990
The Omni

They found the right (slower) tempo for this in later years. Also Bobby learned not to oversing. The moments when his voice fills with rage now work.

Crisler Arena

Jerry's playing simultaneously causes and scratches an itch inside your brain. Spooky comping by Bobby.

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry forgets more words than he remembers but as often happens in such cases the solos are burning - especially the second one over the verses and the second one in the coda.
They Love Each Other
April 8, 1982
Onondaga Auditorium

Jerry's solo really sneaks up on you. Listen to the crowd lose it with the way he starts the last chorus.
Brown Eyed Women
Feb. 19, 1982
Golden Hall, Community Concourse

Great solo. You know Jerry's feeling it when he plays an extra chorus
They Love Each Other
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

Great example of what makes Phil such a genius
Throwing Stones
Oct. 22, 1983
Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Amazing jam, Jerry and Bobby are inspired
