I am always on the search for top notch Cassidys' and this one really checks all the right boxes. The mid song jam is en fuego

Tight and focused, only 8 minutes but for 8 minutes it covers a lot of ground.

Tender and sorrowful. Jerry hits all the right notes.

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.

This Other One melts my brain like an ice cube.

Lots of funny antics during this one. Worth a listen for the laughs. Lots of teases too. Mexican Hat Dance, Tico Tico, It's A Sin, Teddy Bear's Picnic. . .I am probably missing a few.
