Alpine Valley Music Theatre

In this notoriously shaky year there are often gems to be found among the train wreckage. This BEW is an example. Jerry's solo is spot on

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

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

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
