An excellent shreddy version from '87. Jerry really lets loose.

Worth a listen, Jerry noodles around with Cumberland Blues before > to drums.

Chill version with a really cool dark Dear "Prudence-ish" jam into drums.

The show is just ok, but this Jerry solo out of Space into The Wheel is certainly worth checking out.

Highly enjoyable with a nice tempo and great energy. Some will be surprised by how good this version is.

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

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.
Cold Rain and Snow

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.
