Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Ramble On Rose
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Fantastic solo. Cutting, percussive, angry. The riff he plays at the beginning of the second chorus is a monster. Then it's quieter, melodic, settling in triplets until, big surprise, Jerry remembers the words to the Crazy Otto verse.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Boston Garden

Yeah the last jam is crazy, crazy, crazy great. What Phil and Bobby are doing, wow.
New Minglewood Blues
May 7, 1977
Boston Garden

Keith killing it
Cassidy

Boston Garden

Jerry comes out swinging right away in the jam. It's short but beautiful, with structure and balance like a composition
Eyes Of The World

The Palladium

Jerry is flying and his tone sounds amazing in this aud. Piles of ideas. And it's unusual to hear him play completely unaccompanied as he does into Wharf Rat
