Are you kidding? This is one of the best Big Rivers I've heard. Phil, Jerry, what else can I say? Crank it up

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

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

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
