Better Jerry solo than the other '77s, but same aesthetic otherwise.

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Not too speedy, well jammed and ends with a one of kind improv between Bobby, Brent and the drummers.

The solos in Lady with a Fan are fucking beautiful.

Delicate, sweet playing in the midsection and a good outro. The linked source is not great, but there is a SBD.

Thunderous climax. The last two minutes of the song are tight.

This is great with a sweet solo.

Somebody we all know gets into the solo and starts forgetting where he is in the song and making it longer and more awesome.

I don’t have much to add to what grendel says. The Fire is loud, clear, confident and I also prefer the matrix to the sbd which lacks the warmth that you get with the matrix without sacrificing clarity. An all time Fire.

This one is for real. Great solos, bob on slide is doable, and I would check any other boxes too

Jerry’s playing is sharp and clear, and he is clearly into it. This one is going to stick with me for a while.
