Part of a rare double encore, this version has great energy and bounce. The Brokedown to follow is nice as well. Check out the Oade Brothers AUD.

Really cool pre-drums jam in this version. Almost sounds like they are about to go into I Know You Rider.

It's a fine version and all but the cool little Jerry noodle just before Drums is the real reason to seek this version out.

Really sweet version, especially for a debut! Love the segue into Stella Blue.

The overall show is just ok, but the 1st set opening sequence is worth checking out.

Yep, this one definitely should be closer to the top. Excellent version!
Desolation Row

Kaiser Convention Center

One of my favorites. Jerry teases "Auld Lang Syne" during his solo after the ". . .playing the electric violin on Desolation Row" lyric about mid way through the song. It's a really cool solo.

Jerry hits all the right notes, this is a nice version. Needs more love.
