Hot Jerry has one of those amazing piercing solos where the notes cut like a knife. This is beautiful and well sung some minor mic issues but Jerry +

As passionate as i have heard Jerry singing on this one, does make a vocal miscue but sings right through it instead of just starting to mumble .

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

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.
