Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

Keith really shines here, the 18th definitely takes the cake for Big Rivers on this run. Sounds like Jerry is trying to get into the groove but his picking hand just isn't workin the way he wants it to

Agreed with Carrion, the fact that we can listen to them work the song out in real-time is so cool. Also this is pre-mutron Jerry, so definitely interesting to hear his guitar tone naked and clear with the funk of the song. Anyone know when he first started using the mu-tron in 76/77?
