Unique segue into Cumberland Blues. A nice little adventure away from the normal Rider.

The March 17th and 18th shows have really gained my attention since the Miller upgrades were released out into the wild. Probably the shows I've listened to the most since this quarantine business started.

Capitol Theater

Slower tempo, big thick bass sound. Feels like your trudging through the snow with the band.
Bird Song

World Music Theatre

This version is just ok. It feels sloppy and to me sounds like Jerry is struggling to find the right notes to play. Does not have that nice free flow feeling that the top rated versions have.
