In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

Let It Grow

Downs of Santa Fe

From the soft strumming at the start, the intense build up through the jam, heavy fast pace and the beautiful wind down. What a remarkable version. It's not flawless, but pleasing as hell. Satisfied.

This is like butter. Smooth sounding with no harshness and flows like a river. Unique and stupendous.

Can feel the build into a nice groove that the whole band gets around, which all, of course, just inspires Jerry.

A fun grinding supplication that pushes and pushes to get it right.
