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.

Mexicali Blues

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)
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

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

Jerry has that super emphatic, dynamic and expressive tone in his picking, especially in the coda.

It's fun when things go so completely off the rails that Jerry is suddenly soloing on different changes and they sing the wrong lyrics on the wrong chords. Bobby fucks this up so much. Jerry is sharp though.

Love the melody Phil plays at the end. He just invents a new tune. Wish everyone played along with it some more.
Bird Song
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry lays out crystal clear ideas in the jam, one after the other.
I Just Wanna Make Love To You

Brent sings this great and Jerry totally kills it
