Jerry shreds the solo and bobby growls out the vocals. nice juxtaposition to the beautiful BP that preceded it.

Brents organ really makes this one sound like Grateful Dead church and the way Jerry is signing really makes him sound like he's mourning someone.

this one really builds in intensity until it hts soaring heights. Truly a magnificent though very early 80's sounding version.

Let It Grow
Oct. 19, 1981
Sports Palace

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.

fiery and passionate, whole show is excellent.
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.

UIC Pavilion

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