Awesome a little faster paced then it would eventually be, still emotionally resonant with a stark arrangement.

Voice is rough and gritty but the playing is sublime and gorgeous on this version.

Let It Grow

An absolute monster version Jerry fanning and firing off notes machine gun style, hot and intense, the pace is being pushed rather quickly. Bobby messes a few lyrics possibly due to such a fast energetic pace. Jerry is incendiary. Fantastic, Phil is just bombing away, a masterpiece version.

Black Muddy River
March 30, 1988
Meadowlands Arena

A song that took on an added dimension following Jerry's passing. This is surely one of the most emotional readings of the song i have heard, excellent version. Here's hoping they end Chicago with an Instrumental Black Muddy River into Box of Rain.

A truly spectacular version, the opening three songs of this night have that extra touch of magic.
