Listen to the last 3 minutes of the jam before >Drums. Really unique and one of my favorite Brent solos.

Great opener along with the Franklin's. Jerry has some hot licks in this one.

San Francisco Civic Center

Cool drum segment that drifts into a space that is kind of like Ollin Arrageed with Spanish jam licks.

Capital Centre

This is a very enjoyable version! Great playing and energy.
Man Smart, Woman Smarter
March 18, 1988
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
Feb. 21, 1971
Capitol Theater

Slower tempo, big thick bass sound. Feels like your trudging through the snow with the band.
Bird Song
July 21, 1990
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.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 19, 1984
Philadelphia Civic Center

Awesome! A unique case where the Rider for certain out does the China Cat.
